April 1 is the first day of the second quarter of the CY.

Today we discovered that the boss's boss is GONE. Like really GONE. Disappeared. empty office.

The boss is gone too. Transferred. On another assignment for at least a month. His job will cease to exist December 1.

The rest of us will find out on April 15 if we have jobs and when they end. It is likely mine will end on September 30. But this is not certain.

In the meantime, I am the boss for April. And possibly May. No raise, tho, lol.

I have 41 job applications in process since January 1. Three that look promising. Not to mention strip poker, lol.

Stay tuned for details.

Finishing the Mechanicals

The 113 now has all new suspension rubber. Just ordered all new brakes and two ball joints for the 126. By the end of next week I will actually have two older Mercedes in good mechanical shape at the same time Prepping for a round of layoffs. Liquefying assets so I can hold out for five years till retirement kicks in (worst case scenario).

Howdy Mistress,
Thanx for getting this started. Between working 7 days a week for the last month and the dogs I just downright forgot about it. So for this month it looks like a lot of the same at work except I might get a couple Sundays off.
