<\/font> <\/p>\n

I feel like I did as a kid during the summer. I’ve been “off” work for a while but I still have to check in daily so I’m not completely free of responsibility<\/font><\/p>\n

During the time off each day is fun but the names and dates don’t really mean too much. After all there’s always another day to hang out.<\/font><\/p>\n

This philosophy worked great<\/strong> until the last week before School<\/span> started again then it was cram everything possible into that last precious week.<\/font><\/p>\n

The last weekend before school restarted was always the sweetest. I’d stay up late on Sunday night trying to stretch out the last precious moments of Summer knowing that when I woke up I’d once again be the property of the evil empire. My time would be regimented and controlled for another 9 months and I hated it.<\/font><\/p>\n

The thoughts above are poignant  because when I checked in this morning, I had a ton of email. One in particular from the bug boss. he wanted to have a face to face to discuss changes to the impending layoff.<\/font><\/p>\n

SO Monday, I got the official layoff notice saying that I was out of work on the 29th. Today I was offered a furlough instead. <\/font><\/p>\n

Furlough you say? you don\u2019t get paid if you\u2019re on a a furlough. True, however being on furlough means that you\u2019re not actually unemployed and your health insurance does (in my case) continue on without break. Here in California we may also be able to collect on unemployment but that is uncertain. I have to check on that Monday.<\/font><\/p>\n

Worst case I have health insurance until August. Best case I\u2019ll have a new project by the 19th of July and won\u2019t have to go looking for a new job. So School may be starting again\u2026<\/font><\/p>\n

The question is do I take the trips I\u2019ve been wanting to take and waiting to take ( for the layoff) or do I tough it out for YET another year and not get to go enjoy myself.<\/font><\/p>\n

I\u2019m leaning toward taking the trips regardless\u2026<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font>And In OTHER NEWS<\/strong>\u2026.<\/font><\/p>\n

Got the estimate on the car. Thank goodness I did the extended warranty.<\/font><\/p>\n

They\u2019ve decided that BOTH Turbos need to be replaced. 3500.00 but the extended warranty is covering it. I do have some questions about why suddenly both turbos dump valves are malfunctioning and why it\u2019s all the sudden. One turbo failing \u2026 OK, but two on the same vehicle? perhaps a bit more than coincidence. <\/font><\/p>\n

In theory this should fix the acceleration issue that I\u2019ve been chasing since 2009 I still think this qualifies initial manufacturing defect but that discussion I\u2019ll have in letter form with BMW North America.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
