Getting worse?

When I found out about the whole tuition program going into the crapper, I pondered to myself.... Could things get any worse?? Yep, sure can! Today we had a meeting with the General Manager and he told us that raises are no longer going to happen. Thank GOD, that I recieved my raise last month. But still, what does that mean for the company? He said that the good news, was that we all still had jobs. I really do thank God for my job. I mean dang, to hear about a tire company over seas laying off over 2000 employess. wow, times are tough. I hope the new president pulls us out of this crunch that we are in. On a lighter note, it's offically the week end, and im wicked glad. Work hard all week, and i need some time to relax. Not to mention thanksgiving is next week. Wow, this year has flew by. Im looking forward to going to Gatlinburg with Alicia and her family. Gatlinburg is a great place, but to go with someone that makes you smile everyday, makes things so much better. I just feel extremely privledged to go and to even be asked to go on a trip like that. She sure is amazing. It's basically one of those situations when I find myself thanking God several times a day for such an amazing person. God sure does give me the best gifts ever. Well, it's date night and I need to roll on out. H.I.B.
