Well, it took a month, but the effects of the disaster in Japan has struck here. Tom and I work at a Japanese automotive OEM (Original equipment manufacturing) company. We make parking brakes for cars that are mfg in North America. Well, the car companies have dropped their production to nearly nothing resulting in a reduction in workforce. We released all our temps on Tuesday and asked for volunteers to take a lay-off until at least July 8th. Also, 2nd shift was cancelled and the OTSCON employees have been moved to 1st shift. So, Tom is going to start working daytime hours as of Monday. This is wonderful news for us for a short time, and just about the time we get used to these hours they will move him (I have a feeling).
At this time we both still have jobs, but I don't know what the future holds. But, for awhile we will be a family again!
