I'll get unemployment for the hours I've been cut, which will help some. I'm already in the process of relocating to Austin. I'm just trying to save up money for the trip down, the repairs I must make to my car beforehand, the Reunion (because it's been 5 years and I deserve it, dammit), money to mail my stuff down (it's going to be cheaper than Uhauling it), and finish paying off some local debt that needs to be paid off before I leave.

I've been working my plan for a while now and things are progressing, albeit slowly. I've known this was possible...probable...for a while now. Our town is driven solely by the military. When bids are lost and/or no ships come in for servicing or dry docking, there's nothing here. So, it's not a shock, just a disappointment, especially when they just hired someone and they intend to keep the worthless person she was supposed to have replaced and drop everyone's hours down to bring the new girl's up. I really don't understand their plan in doing this but if they are trying to drive the good employees away that have built a rapport with government workers and civilians that have been coming here for years, they are onto something.

I love you and will give you a ride to the Austin where you belong.
