Rantings of a Madman

well, i've known this was coming for awhile, but it still caught me off guard

Well, i bet you are wondering what the hell i'm
talking about, lol, aren't you? Well, my dad is now
unemployed, not in the technical sense of the word as i'm
not sure he is really looking for a job, but in the general
sense. He has decided to close up the shop, since it's
been costing more to rent the space then he's been making
for a few months now, and since his bad hip makes it hard
for him to work and everything. I suppose now is as good
as time as ever though.... He's been talking about it for
a few years, but now since the economy has really turned to
shit he pretty much had to (in july he told me that this
year so far he had made only about $2,000, and
comparatively all of last year he made over $100,000, so
you kinda get the picture). This this seems to be the end
of Paul's Industrial Workbenches or Lawson Custom
Manufacturing or if you wanna go back, Pro Line Tables. I
dunno how much this will change anything, i probably won't
be around that much when stuff starts going on. I guess
that's it for my dad working til as late as 6 in the
morning some nights, and it would mean no more not seeing
him for weeks straight, but once again, i'll be gone
anyway.... I know i said i've seen it coming, cuz he's
been saying it for awhile and recently he's been pulling
out stuff from the other room (if you've been in my house
you'll understand what i mean by other room, lol, the one
with all that stuff) and saying stuff like "see this...
(holds up little statue thing) it's worth more than this
house or at least a couple hundred thousand" "this is
illegal to have (brings out this huge ivory carved chinese
thing" "i should try to sell my old baseball cards, how
would i go about doing that? could you do that very easy
over the internet?" but oh well, we'll just wait and see
what's going to happen, he's also been inquiring about FJC
to mark and asking about some of their classes, i think he
wants to get a welding certificate or something like that
though, i'm not really sure.
