September 23rd

About a month ago Chris' company got word that their corporate office in OH had decided to consolidate call centers.  This meant 5 girls in his office were given notice that as of Oct 5th, they no longer have jobs.  Most of them had worked there for 10+ years.  His company had always been like a little family so it was quite the change.  Sunday they organized a company picnic to say goodbye.  When I first met Chris, all of the company functions were at a bar, which was quite ironic since they work for a breathalyzer company.  Now all of the outings are at parks since everyone has a few kids.  The group sure has grown.  It was a beautiful Fall day and lots of memories were shared.  Deb, Amy, Alyssa, Paula, & Desi will be missed.
