We got word this morning that we won a second big contract. This is great news for the office and will provide a lot of stability for several folks. My office has numerous contracting vehicles that everyone works on, but its nice to have the stability of a large one too. The one we were awarded a few weeks ago is up and running and i think they've hired more people. This latest one means they're searching to fill some more slots. Since we were the incumbant, we already had most of them filled, but this new contract is expanding somewhat. Anyhow, great news.
Weather here has turned bitter cold, i know not as cold as canada or new england, but we were in the 70s a few days ago and today the high was 34. time to bring the brass monkeys in from outside, lol. its defintely cloudy, gray, and gloomy. a large wind storm went through the other day and this morning they said there were still a few hundred families without power. that would be terrible with this weather.
i know a few years ago, my family in pennsylvania were without power for over 3 weeks, lots and lots of food was wasted and had to be thrown out. luckily, it wasn't bitter cold then, just summer storms creating havoc. my dad hooked up a portable generator to fend off that fiasco again, lol.
have a great day . . .
