It might not be as bad as you think Chuck. I've heard that it's loosely based on English! :hyst:

Thanks again to everyone for all the well wishes and kind words :)

New turn of events yesterday, about 11am the President and Senior V.P. showed up and let over 1/2 of the people in our office go, somewhere around 30 people. I feel sorry for those that are without a job now, even more sorry for the ones that are left which isn't many. I am very thankful that I have somewhere to go on Monday as many do not. God saved me again, there is no other way to put it or to look at it, this was truly an amazing blessing [-o<
