The current economy situation has finally hit us… right between the eyes! Hubs lost his job this week. He worked hard in Hell for about six years and then *wham*… goodbye.
Now, normally this would be a horrible thing. However, the job itself has become horrible, so this is really a blessing in disguise. Even though the circumstances could have been better, and it is definitely a little scary worrying about the money, and he doesn’t deserve it… all in all, I’m still happy he doesn’t have to work for that place anymore.
As I’ve stated before, I’m a firm believer in things changing. Bad times don’t stay bad forever (and neither do good times, for that matter). We don’t necessarily deserve these bad times, 0062ut I know beyond any doubt they won’t last forever. Soon enough he’ll have another job… a better job… and we’ll look back on these times and laugh.
So, Hubs, just know that I love you and that I’m proud of you despite all this crap.
But… since you are home, would you mind if I left you a honey-do list each morning?
I've been sitting here on the sidelines trying to thing of something meaningful to say, and I'm coming up with a blank. I feel your pain and anxiety - been there, done that for 15 months 9 years ago. I learned to be pretty good house-husband during that period, too.
ReplyDeleteI can only hope that the upturn in the economy will make this a minor bump in the road on the way to a much better position. Hang in there and use your network of coworkers, friends, relatives and anyone you have ever come in contact with to help you find that next opportunity. It worked for me.
Good Luck!
If he's interested in being a dog walker, I have a couple of hounds....
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, we've been thinking about you for the last couple of weeks. We know this is a hard time, but like you said, it's one that can definitely be overcome.
We're here, rooting for you!
