That was 20 years ago. We have clawed out way out of poverty and held onto it by the skin of our teeth at times. It was not easy and still isn't but we have mostly made it.

However it's always just step away from falling back down. One layoff due to "market conditions" and soon enough they try to shove you down in that hole.

Like the layoff notification I got this morning, yep one of those can we meet e-mails at 7am...

Jokes on them though, I saw this one coming 6 months ago and set myself up to take all of the suppliers and customers for my division. Hopefully by the end of the week I will have everything on-line.

I am currently laying here going holy fuck, I am really going to do it....
