Lost Job
Accident Update: I'm doing OK. Except my left hand is going numb and my shoulder and elbow both hurt. Going to have to see a dr. about that if I can find one. Mike's only problem is in his neck. He's had another round of tests, so I hope they show something!
And on top of everything else, I lost my job yesterday. I'm not fast enough at putting eyeglasses together, it seems. The boss was apologetic, though and said he'd give me a good reference. If he had another opening, he'd said he'd put me there. And he'll give me a week's severance pay. So it was sort of on good terms.
So, Monday it's off to unemployment, APAC to see if they are hiring ( since I'm re-hirable there ), Merry Maids, ChemPac (they pack chemicals for Goodyeear), and all the temp agencies. Then it's about hitting the retail stores and offices to see if they need help. sigh. Bad thing is that Jim, DS, is out of work too. We stocked up on groceries last night.
On the knitting front - I'm working on a dark blue kid's sock. and have a dark blue baby sock made. Hand warmers in a purple multi. Have the green second sock's heel turned but need to finish the things listed above first. And everything else is on hold.
