According to the weather channel we will be getting between 3 and 5 inches of snow this afternoon and evening.  It looks like it is going to cover the entire state, more heavily in the north but the whole state will get some.  That means that we will be driving home in the snow…whee.

TMC, which owns the hotel we stay at, is laying off approximately 150 people this week.  It will primarily be the trucking end that takes the hit, but the maintenance man at the hotel has been let go and John is not sure who else is on the hit list.  Apparently they got in a little deeper than they thought reasonable in the debt line and are now trying to remedy the problem.  They are keeping some of the drivers that are new and letting some of the experienced, more expensive ones go.  I understand the financial logic, but it hurts.

The auction last night was successful in a couple of different areas.  I got some stuff to list, some rather neat stuff like Princess House glassware, and Greg got a lateral file cabinet in really good condition for $2!!  It is now in the office ready to be put to use.

I got an email today from Tom Englad from Daystar University in Kenya (Tom is in New Hampshire) saying they didn't have an opening in the business department at Daystar University that they had money to pay someone to fill.  They were impressed with Greg's information but no money.  Now, that is something that was started last MAY, it has taken the Kenyans that long to respond.  Tom actually went to the Vice Chancellor to get a response because the head of the department wasn't responding to Tom.  What a peach of a guy to stay on it that long, but to be honest, we had blown that one off a LONG time ago.  Just like Chacha, if you don't hear anything it's because they don't want to tell you bad news so they won't give you any.

Now we will wait to hear from the University in Cayman, the resume and information was sent earlier this week and we immediately received a response saying it was being passed on the the review committee.  That doesn't mean anything, but at least it is in process.
