Two days are down this week, three to go. I was looking forward to having a four day work week but not at Kennametal. We can't lose production time, that's a big no no! Actually our plant is undergoing some big changes due to the incentives package the city just gave us. Many machines are being sold off and being replaced by new ones which is slowing us down during the transition. I dread the atmosphere around there after the two weeks of Christmas and New years downtime were going to have at the...

While I don't "get" the whole body art and body piercing thing, I know that it's grown in popularity in the last 10 to 15 years.
