My chip collecting has almost come to a screaching halt in the past few months. I was on tier 3 of my unemployment which wasn't even enough to cover my utility bills, let alone trying to raise 3 kids as a single dad. However, I started a full time, permanent job (with bene's) last week and am now working 10 hour days, 6 days a week. Good news is, I am looking forward to resuming my chipping!! Jobs are so tough to find anymore, I feel blessed to have got one now.
