Default OT serious change in income.

Wow, I just got some bad news at work this morning.

Apparently the company thinks they can save some money if they eliminate all maintenance overtime. Overtime is my main source of "fun" money. And a serious source at that. I usually bring home about $1500 a month in overtime. I'll still survive, but the "toys" are really gonna be scaled back!!

I drag race a 1:1 car in the summer. That's definitely not going to happen this year.

I've been spending quite a bit on this RC addiction this winter. Gotta figure something out there.

I still need a hobby to maintain my sanity and the RC racing is definitely cheaper so that will probably be the one to keep. This really blows. Personally I don't think they will find it saves any money. They plan to do major maintenance work during the week now by shutting the machines down. I'll bet the downtime will cost more than the overtime. Hopefully they will realize this within 6 months.

Man, I am seriously bummed right now. I need a beer.
