You all know that I work for a company that manufactures concrete mixers. I'm pretty sure you are all also aware of how crappy the economy is. Well, the crappy economy has a direct negative influence on concrete truck manufacturing, which in turn has a negative influence on my job. I knew it was coming. We all knew it was coming. It doesn't take a Nobel Laureate in Economics to realize that no trucks in the schedule means no revenue for the company which means no work for employees.
Bad news is no work for truck production side of the business. Good news is the aftermarket side of our business is very busy. More customers are ordering parts and repairing their trucks than are ordering new trucks. This in itself is a great thing. Always look for the silver lining, right Mom?
Regardless, while the Aftermarket side has a silver lining, the production side has a black cloud. Shut down for the production side starts on Monday the 20th of July. I love my job. I love going to work every day. I love the people I work with. My silver lining is that I get to spend time with my kids before they go back to school on 8/13 and I have time to prepare the house and meals before I have my surgery on 8/18.
