Great idea! Me and mine are good. The wife is done with work until next school year, the kids are done with school. Sadly it was my boys' senior year so he will miss out on a lot of very important stuff, but it cannot be helped.
My work told me to work from home beginning next week for which I am very thankful. Stay home with your families and take few risks.
Well, more unanticipated changes for me since March. Actually a lot of changes since early December. I think I shared that I lost the job I started in January of 19 on December 4th of 19 (due to continued poor health) I was out of work until the end of February then began another position with an old and dear friend in a small metal fabrication facility, (think CAT sub-contractor) thought the position was less than ideal, small shop of roughly 60, 45-minute commute each way, considerably less money, much costlier and worse health insurance. Anyway, first he told me to work from home which I still appreciate, then he took a couple of hard financial hits and had to lay off about a dozen folks (a considerable percentage when his total employment number was roughly 60 to begin with of which I was one. He felt very bad about it and told me when things looked better he would give me a call if I was still available.
Well, the day he laid me off April 7th, I filed for unemployment, but was glad to find a position about 15 minutes from home with Northrup Grumann to apply for. I had a phone interview that went very well today and will do the in-person interview on Monday. I am so hoping this position comes to fruition since the pay would be considerably greater and more in line with the wages I was making a few years ago. Of course, given the company, benefits would be far better than my most recent situation so if everything goes well I will be working close to home without a 45 minute to hour long commute at great fuel savings, vehicle wear and tear not to mention the wear and tear on me. Plus much beter health insurance.
Not to offend those that do not pray, but for those that do a word or two from those so inclined to "The Big Man" would be greatly appreciated!
I will report back on how things go for me. Oh ya, as far as Covid-19 goes the whole family has been hunkered down for weeks and we are all fine. I hope things are going as well for you guys.
