: : : :  I got a couple disturbing phone calls last nite about my job. 3 office people were laid off and we all had to come in at 7am this morning for a major meeting. Well, I didn`t get far in the gate when 5 operators, including me were asked to go to the office. Seems sales are WAY down and half the plant was shut down including my unit. 17 other employees including myself were laid off this morning. This pretty much kills my summer plans including Gathering. The plant has been in operation for 55 years and this is the first time they have had a lay off. I have been there for 7 years and out of 40 operators, I`m #2. It just didn`t make any since.
: : : :  I`ll do everything I can to make Gathering but it looks real slim. They are paying us for our vacation time and even if we get called back, we won`t have anymore for the year. I`ll let you all know how things work out.

: : : I'm so sorry Clabert!  That's terrible news.  Unfortunately, it seems to be happening everywhere and in many diverse industries.  Of course knowing others are experiencing the same thing, doesn't make it any easier for you.  Did they leave you with any hope of being recalled in the near future?

: : They are calling it a 90 downtime. There is a real good chance of being called back but I will still lose the vacation time. That`s about all I know at this point.

: Well, Clabert, this isn't very good news....Mary was looking forward to seeing that near and dear red piece of cloth!!!! Hope ALL works out for the best, especially for you and your family; as well as for us seeing you at the Gathering!
