Well it happened. In a way I'm bummed but in a lot I'm not. After 10 years of employment with a small manufacturing company in Sheboygan, WI called Muth Mirror Systems, I was given my walking papers. Not because of poor performance or doing something wrong, but ultimately due to the situation the whole economy is in right now and the passing of Mike Muth last year. It's beyond our control and the new owner and team are trying to keep it afloat and give it a go but only time will tell.
I started there as a CAD Drafter in June of '98 and then moved into building samples a year or so later when the other tech went to school.
The small company atmosphere has it's pro's and con's and I will miss the people. I will not miss the lack communication and all the fire drills and trying to work on machines that don't work.
The next chapter may be short if something great doesn't happen. Part time employment w/ schooling? Cheese or Meat Factory? AutoCad or Engineering tech position right away? Only time will tell.
I have only a couple of weeks before our insurance runs out...wish me luck.

Cheese and meat sound good. Everyone's gotta eat, right??
