I took a tour of Atlas. It was pretty sick. Too bad they were letting everyone go, I would have liked a job there.

When did you get the tour? We have been really slow lately, but its starting to pick up quite a bit. I work in the service department so even with the slow down, our department didn’t have many layoffs.
