Today is the first day of rain here. It has been perfect 70 degrees and not a cloud in the sky

Been nice here, except for a couple stormy evenings.

Thankfully the government shutdown didn't happen, and I can count on a paycheck again. But, yeah there's always one of those and they stink, on the final day of talks, I got a notice from the lens manufacturer requesting payment for my new lens. I had to decline and pass it on to someone in line for the lens to save money since I didn't know when my next paycheck would be coming.

Looks like I have to wait a few more months for the next production run. Hand made stuff always takes too long ...

Any timeline on another lens?

Night shift security at a steel mill, by far the most boring job ever!

A few months. The manufacturer doesn't give concrete timelines

I bet it can be very boring, but if you've got internet it's not all bad.

Just have to be patient then. At least you're not worried about your next paycheck.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Curious about how many people would be willing to break into a steel mil. Have you ever had any problems there, Knifenut?

Very true.

My bank, Navy federal Credit Union, sent out a press release Thursday stating they would be advancing the entire paychecks to all servicemembers who use them for their direct deposit paychecks. Thankfully it wasn't needed, but they earned a lifelong customer with service like that.

The web helps but my phone is aging and is sloooooow.

Not too much trouble, we have a international port though so everything is regulated by Homeland Security and surprisingly strict for a security job. At least more than I thought it would be. I do access control so its a lot of vehicle inspections and paper work.
