I caught the #2 guy out in the plant today, where he was much less politically correct than he usually is in the office. He’s pretty upset with the way the owner’s driving the company into the ground and it sounds like he plans to get out of here before the company goes into receivership. When those guys come in, they cut throats without discrimination.

Anyway, he was encouraging me to get applying to places, though he says I probably won’t have much of any trouble finding something. I told him how I felt bad taking off on the company after having said I’d stick around and he said not to. The owner doesn’t care about us, he won’t be offering us anything when the time comes so we shouldn’t feel any obligation towards him.

So perhaps I’ll update my resume here this afternoon.

The phone system broke down this morning. It started with call display breaking (a week ago) and fixing it led to everything not working, including voicemail and the ability to transfer calls. There was an hour of hell, when everyone decided to call us and after the repairman came by, fixed it and left, call display no longer worked. Again.

Had a beer and kicked Joe’s ass in Mario Kart DS tonight. That was good for getting my mind off work.
