You are essential to the shipyard but apparently they don't know it. You are essential to us in the barony and we do know it! Maybe all us shipyard (and friends and family) SCA folks should meet up for breakfast after we get handed our paperwork. Think of all the fun stuff we can get done during the one day off I'm expecting us to have.

I have a new hire class on Monday, and that's who I'm feeling sorry for. How'd you like to have your employer shut down on your first day of work? They must be worried they don't really have a job after all.
