Economy is bad, people are losing their jobs. Fired or laid-off, really, does it matter which it is? The bottom line is you don't have a job you can bitch about everyday now. Oh, and why does bad thing always seem to happen in my birthday month?
A friend of mine said 'At least one of you still has a job.' I said "I can't imagine if both of us are laid off. I'd be so depressed that I'd probably kill myself." She said "Depressed? You seem like such an upbeat person." Yeah, I have a tendency to put up a sunny freckled (literally brown-spotty) face. Stay positive, I keep telling myself.
We had great hopes that something was going to pan out last week. Unfortunately our prayers weren't answered. "I'm sorry!" he said. My heart ached. I didn't know what to say. "It's OK." was really not OK. All I could utter was "I'm sorry, too." I really am not very good at comforting him. He's always been the one I look to for comfort.
We'll get through this. We just need to plan our next steps and move forward with them.
