I'm no longer employeed at Woodcraft. I was told it was because I couldn't work enough hours. Bruce says I'll probably save money by not buying stuff every day I worked :D . Plus the hour drive each way with gas and wear and tear on my truck. Plus I'll be able to go to Church on Sundays. The pay wasn't that good either. And I'm sure Liz will be happy that I'm home on Friday nights.

That is too bad, Buddy! While you have listed all the plus sides to the situation I know you did like going in there and helping out. :( :(

However, church and some quality time with Liz should be well worht the few coins you did pick up.

Hang in there my friend. :-D

As much as we like to earn it,,,,,,,money isn't everything. Some things in life cannot be bought.
Enjoy some free time with your wife and keep the shop running.

Enjoy the extra time you'll have off now. I know it's tough, a job like that can be a joy but the costs can be too high sometimes. I worked for Lowes for a while and they'd work me to death id I'd have let them. They seem to think that working you 39 hours a week is not full time. :roll:

Appreciate your weekends now, and the extra time you get in the shop, and with Liz. 8)
