The Economy has hit me as it has for many of you

Well I figured that it may happen at some point over the next year layoff and furloughs. Some of you may have seen PCMC had a story in the paper regarding this. Only thing I know as of now is 4 weeks of layoff spread over the next six months. If it stays at that It really shouldn't be that bad. I hae to wait and see what the Union has to say before I really know what will actually happen. The layoffs are supposed to be company wide (engineering, service, assembly, sales), so it's seems very fair to me. It's still very early in this development, so theres really no info for better or worse. The only thing that I worry about is what is beyond just these four weeks. For example a buddy of mine was supposed to be layed off for two weeks or so, but the company suddenly said they were closing all together. Now I don't think that PCMC is going to close anytime soon, but it just shows how fast things can get bad.

So we'll see what happens. I'm going to just keep on biking. I have a good 6 months of money saved not including unemployment, so I should be good. Otherwise I hope htat we can have a good ride on saturday.
