Last day at New Balance


Lol, I am trying to post a pic each time I blog...I have so many. This one is of my oldest boy with my nephew Seth during a power outage this past summer. It was pitch black at the time and thundering and lightning. We were worried about how we were gonna get the little one to sleep, guess oldest took care of that for us,lol. Moving along...I handed in my tools at NB today, quite a sad day it was. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE made a big deal out of it, including the plant manager who gave me a big hug. Boy they made it hard to leave. The human resource manager came down and game my wife a hard time last week. She asked her if she had talked me into staying? Now I ask you....who do you go to when HR harrasses you??? lol. I love them all there and I can tell you the pay may not be as good as the paper mills, but it's the best damn company I have ever worked for. The owners Jim and Anne Davis are DEVOTED to U.S. manufacturing, and they spoil their associates. They are giving 5 paid sick days this year, you believe that?? Maybe someday I will be back. Anyhow, I am taking my soul mate to see "I Am Legend" tonite. Will let you all know how it is. Will Rocks!! ...well...most of the time.
