Mom! Mom! My nephew in Michigan has a new job, and at only $2 per hour less than the one he had with Dow Automotive! He'll have to move to Springfield, IL but that's where he grew up! He was "laid off" on June 1 and Dow paid him through June 30, so he was officially unemployed for only a few hours! Get this, Mom: he was hired during the interview. He's going to be a technician for Walz Scale Company.

I spoke with him. To say that he's ecstatic is understatement, but he still won't give me his .45-70 rifle.
