Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow

It began snowing here on Friday around 2 pm. It has not stopped snowing yet, more than 31 hours later.

At least 8 inches of new snow.

It looks great and if you dont need to drive or walk in it, no problem.

Shoveling is a hassle and it needs to be done since the city here does not shovel the sidewalks, that too must be done.

Winter, you either love it or hate it and I love it.

Jobs come and jobs go

Last week, the company I have worked for, for nearly two years, close. It has been closing since the day I started at which time it was a department store chain with ten stores.

Slowly it sized down until we only had one store remaining.

In November of 2009 the owners put the company into chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and over the past few month, the little company of one store was actually making good head way.

With no additional funding since 2009 the company and the single store had become self supporting and it looked like we had a chance.

Bickering between the various creditors put an end to the company and last week myself and the last few employees were let go.

 Maybe as one door closes, another will open for myself and the others.

The new blog

I have been wanting to get around to blogging for a very long time now, it is finally a good time for me to begin the process.
