A New One - Finally

No pictures today, just rambling......I've been working mostly six 12's since the end of May in Victorville, CA - including Saturdays! Now I've started a second project for the same agency with the pipe being fabricated near downtown LA. It's a 50 minute commute in prime Los Angeles traffic. The saving grace is they start at 5 am. But going home is a royal pain at 15 mph. Fortunately this is only for a week, then I'm back commuting Cajon Pass until fabrication starts in late Dec. That part is only 6 miles away in Riverside and I'll be starting a second job at the same firm...nothing like double dipping to keep the wolf away. I have 3 jobs running and I've turned down another two. This is stone cold crazy - I'm supposed to be retired!!!
The morning economic news is contract employment is dropping and not for the usual reason, becoming direct hires. So if companies are not hiring from temp agencies (ie. letting go) are the direct hires the next to get fired...likely!
