Recession, what recession???

[Marilyn]

I don't get why we are supposed to be in a recession. Usually when housing is in a slump, my industry is booming. Well we are really booming now. I have never in all my experience seen a time like this. We have so many huge projects we are working on. It's insane!!! Power plants and expansions. I mentioned it in another thread. Everywhere I go, there is more activity than I have ever seen. Factories are running at maximum capacity trying to keep up. We are booking more orders than we ever dreamed we'd see at our branch. I don't know where they are going to get all the skilled labor to build all the stuff they are planning in this area. It's a nice time to be in this business. There is no way that I could possibly consider making a career change at this time.

I'm working with engineers and people from all over the world. It's a strong oriental accent on one call, strong Indian on another, latin Amerian on another. And so many specifications to be read. I'm so afraid I'll miss something and we will ship material that does not meet spec or will need some documentation that has been overlooked.

Wow, what a time to be alive. At least it's not boring!!!!! Calgon, take me away!!!!
