NaBloPoMo: Transitions
November 18, 2009emily 3 Comments »These are the times that try men’s souls. John got laid off yesterday morning. We knew when he took a job with a start-up (and then another start-up) that this was a possibility. And, in this economy, a very real possibility. I’m in graduate school (you may have heard), so John is the sole provider for our family. He’s got a great skill set and I’ve no doubt that he’ll get another job. Where, geographically, that job is… well, we don’t know. We don’t know a lot right now. And that’s scary. I’m not denying that. I’m six months out from being able to accept a job, if a job even awaits me. On John’s side of things, well, Gainesville isn’t the easiest place to find a job in his field. So it’s quite scary, yes. But there’s a part of us that’s also sort of excited at the possibility of change. Apprehensive and excited and scared and electrified all at once. We’ll have to see where the road takes us.

I think you have exactly the right attitude. I suspect that many good things are headed (both of) your way!

I’m sorry to hear that but I agree with Tiffany – great attitude!

This sucks. We are so sorry.
Your positive outlook will serve you well. I don’t mean for that to sound like a trite fortune cookie, so feel free to add “in bed.”
