: 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.

Clabert,
I, too, am dismayed that you and your family won't be able to attend the Gathering. I was ready to provide chaffeur services yet another year! Please keep positive thoughts - much can happen in four months. (I haven't told Karen yet - she will also be very disappointed and concerned.)
