Driller part 2

Joe got a call that he is to come in for an interview for the driller position/training. The interview is on the 19th at 10:00 and we are really praying that Joe gets it. The mine is not doing well and has cut all temporary positions, special projects, and over time for many of the employees, and has a hiring freeze. It is a miracle that they are going through with the drill training at all. There have been several jobs posted within the company, and then taken down a week or two later as copper shares continue to drop. There are rumors that there are only 18 days worth of Ore to mine, and other rumors that they are going to try to keep their doors open until at least June. I am praying that none of them are true and that the original 7 years of mining continues. There are limited opportunities in Ely and the closing of the mine would be devastating to not only our family, but all of the 500 employees.
