Back to Work

This New Year marks the 25th year at my current employer!
You?..I can hardly believe it :)
What's even more difficult to believe...there has not been a lay-off that whole time.
The economy just needs to hold until April 10th and it will be officially 25 years.
Looking at the orders coming in the door does not give one much hope, I'm putting my faith in someone sitting in heavenly places.
It's my lunch break just in case you were wondering.
Twenty Five years ago there weren't any computers in the office, there wasn't even a fax machine. The copier was one of the old Xerox machines with the pink sleeves you had to use for each copy. The typewriter was electric and there were buttons on the phone, they must have been a recent addition as I was still "dialing" at home. Now there are three computers on desks and three built into the machinery we run. We are still a 7 person operation...that has not changed, but we get a lot more output per person.
Well my half hour is over...
