I am depressed today because my company has decided to shift some manufacturing from a plant in Indiana to one in Mexico. The manufacturing in question is for the automotive sector.
I’ve been to the plant a number of times – it is in the southern rural part of Indiana. In fact, to get to it,you have to fly into Lousville. It is a slice of Middle America,and I mean that in a good way. Folks work at the factory, and it provides enough to buy a modest home with a small boat in the driveway for fishing on the weekend – and that is fine with them. People with no pretensions – just good plain folk.
I am beside myself these days in watching all the business sectors related to engineering slipping away. Of course that’s self-serving, but there is more to it than that. This morning I had to drive to work, which I rarely do. As I was driving up 4th Ave, I noticed that the construction site on 4th Ave and Baltic is active again -swarming with hardhats. Big, burly guys doing a job. Perhaps I’m strange,but such a sight makes me feel good. The problem is that it is happening less and less.
No rules, just use common courtesy.
What’s the position???
“DIBS, check your email for my thoughts on the matter.”
LOL
“Forgive me, that comment was inappropriate.”
I thought it was funny. Also, as PLUSA President, shouldn’t Biff be making the rules? Mr. President?
“I am depressed today because my company has decided to shift some manufacturing from a plant in Indiana to one in Mexico.”
DIBS, why don’t you apply for the Foreman’s position?
That is a downer, Benson. (And I liked your earlier remarks about the thread too.)
Sorry I’ve been away all week.
Did I miss anything?

There are a lot of numb nuts here today, especially bad spellers too.
Oops, seems I’m the numb nut! That was mopar, not M4L. Apologies to both!
I need to read the fine print.
