some of my slightly more blue collar friends were talking about taking a road trip down there. Apparently the money to "clean rocks with a scrub brush" is paying big right now.

Meanwhile the operators and associated personnel have just been given the order for 6 day work weeks for the month of June with 7 days for a specifically busy line to keep up with customer orders. (though this isn't very indicative of the economy because we make medicine, the jobs and hours are certainly helping those who work here. 5 months ago you could ask for as much time off without pay as you wanted)
