Change of Plans

So... you know how I said a while back that we were moving to Arlington where Steve was going to start a new job mid May?

Weeeelllllll.... That job was contracting with GM who, as you should know by now, is experiencing some difficulties. Plants are closing and bankruptcy... GM is in the crapper. A week or so after we accepted the offer (but before we actually started) the GM plant in Arlington announced that, rather than shutting down for the normal two weeks in the summer to get ready for the new line of 2010 vehicles... they would be shutting down for 9 weeks!!!

Ummmm.... so are we moving from one closed plant to another just to find ourselves in the same boat we're in now, six months from now?!?

So, before Steve actually started this GM job, we got another job offer from this company called Tetra Tech which contracts engineers to do various jobs all over our great country. This job was based in Abliene, TX (West Texas) at Dyess Air Force Base.

Well, we ended up taking this job instead. We felt it was a better choice for us.

Surprise!!!
