Anybody hiring?

It's official... the rumors and rumblings were true. Today it was confirmed that my beautiful factory here in Nogales will be closing late next year.

Since finance is always the last to go, I don't have anything to worry about for the next 15-18 months, unless I find something more attractive sooner.

My baby tracker will now be (honestly it always has been, but I wasn't allowed to say) my countdown to unemployment... you ladies get a baby at the end of your countdown. Not me, I get to uproot my family and start climbing the corporate ladder again.


I'm posting this news more as an FYI than anything... and while the above may sound gloomy, I'm not concerned at all. I have plenty of time to figure out what I want to do, and I'm sure plenty of opportunities will present themselves over the next 12 - 18 months. Our first choice will be to stay here, and me either work from home and stay with Motorola, or find a new company to work for in this area. We REALLY don't want to move... AGAIN.
