Boys and Their Toys. . .



So Phil started another job. . . after carpet went downhill, Portland/Radio Towers looked promising but then busted, Atlanta/Door to Door was a joke, and eventually taking Unemployment, (can you say our taxes will be fun for 2009? Oh, and we'll get to it later, but I eventually switch companies, and then once at the new company, they switch names - Colleen probably had a vision of our taxes and knew it was time to quit doing it for us). I was starting to feel like the world was out to get us. We had spent so much time apart and had nothing to say for it except a now large pile of debt. Frustration was started to settle in. We couldn't complain, I still had my job. . . but Phil needed and wanted to be working. Along comes job #4 in less than a year. What is the new job you say? Well, Phil gets to play with robots at work? What guy wouldn't like that? Robotronics makes robots and products for Safety Education. . . you will get to see some of the costumes at Halloween time. Phil sells for them and he travels to different conferences and shows throughout the country. I know, another traveling job, but its not so bad. He is only gone 3 or 4 days at a time, and usually only twice a month. Also, he is usually home on the weekends which makes it even better for the family. We are grateful for the job and hope that it is the beginning of a whole new future for us.

Does Phil have to wear the sweet costumes at every convention or does he limit it to halloween?
