Can you hear me now?

Brian lost his job at Verizon today. Instead of, "Can you hear me now?" the question should be, "Can you understand my broken English?" I still don't understand how American companies can get away with outsourcing all of their jobs and not have to pay steep penalties. I could rant forever, but that wouldn't pay the bills or get Brian's job back. I guess it's time to get serious about the ebay sales. I already cancelled cable and some other luxuries. Brian will try to work some active duty days while looking for permanent employment. We'll be moving, probably to the Portland area. That means I'll be using a lot of would-be knitting time working on finishing up some home-improvements necessary to selling this place. We will keep our internet service and hopefully our email addresses will remain the same. Ciao for now.
