Philco 41-246
#7

Layoffs are such a common thing here it is almost like vacation only not as often. I have personally been through 4.
Every time things eventually improved and the layoffs proved to be a blessing, every single one of them as I tend to get cozy as my friends hop the jobs and their pay is always 20-30% beats mine.

Also the last one gave me the chance to

1) Become a full time Mr. Mom to my newborn girl, for 1 year, and
2) restore my first radio, which I could not bring myself to start for a year since I had bought it, namelyn the Philco 20 Lowboy,
3) rebuild my espresso machine with a new boiler and outfit it with a PID controller.

This is why I say, enjoy the vacation, use the time well, wrap up the loose ends in your radios, devote more time to that house of yours you are selling.....

...I always start my unemployment with some travel. Two-three weeks, see places, visit friends, drive far if you like it.
