I was right about the job I still have to do for my son. He had a bit of a wild weekend with his friends. Though according to him it wasn't all that and he should have just stayed home. Yeah right, we really think that is true. I don't even think Calum really thinks that. I think he only said it in the hope it would make us feel good.
We had a surprise inspection this week. Usually we get a warning of when they are coming. Not this year though. As you might suspect the office staff were on tender hooks as we normally have a week or two to sort any issues around the factory. In the end though we passed. How well I don't know. The main thing though is that we are all still in a job thanks to getting the pass. But for two days things around the work were palpable as well as a little stressed. It was good to reach the weekend.
Talking of stress I really felt it last weekend when playing the game. I am still working to earn the cash for the Cobra Mk III but found it harder to earn the credits to do so. I just kept getting attacked in every system I visited making me late with deliveries. This led to fines and not getting paid plus my cargo hold being filled with a cargo I had difficulties in getting rid of. I would either jettison it or if I had access to the black-market sell it there. Not every station has one though hence why sometime I would just fire the cargo out the airlock. All of this did see my balance slowly decline till I finally just switched the computer off. I suppose I will need to do some personal trading which I haven't done to any great extent as yet to earn the cash for the Cobra. I just have to find a good trade route to exploit for a bit.
