As you can tell from my previous post, I am trying to find a new job.
A new job in an old city.
That's right.

Taking advantage of people
Times are tough.
People are out of work all over the country.
Many are losing or have lost their cars.
Many are losing or have lost their homes.
Many feel that their lives are out of control.
I sometimes can't believe how some people take advantage of others' misfortune.
Their need.
Here's something that surprised the heck out of me this morning. It's a portion of a job post.
This is a salaried, full-time position with business hours between 8:30 and 5:30 Monday through Friday. Health benefits are not provided, so please do not apply if you require company-paid health or dental care.
No health benefits. For a full-time salaried job position.

Who knew it could be this way?
The kids were out of school this past week off. Yes. Another week of no school!
And can you believe it? I actually took this week off! I spent all week with my kiddos. While it had its trying moments, it was pretty fun just hanging out with them.
What made it even better was when PD came into town Wednesday night. All four of us were able to just BE.TOGETHER.

Got me by surprise
Today as I was organizing my desk, I found out that our office has a toll-free number.
Wah-la!
I emailed the number to the PD just to let him know that he could use that number to call me during the day. This way he's not having to use his cell, you know?

Trying to be there
When my husband calls me, I try to be there for him.
Not just hearing his words.
Listening to what he says.
Listening to how he's saying it.
But when I'm caught up in my own muddled emotions, it's really hard to concentrate.
But I try.

Changes once more
In November, we had a RIF at our office. About 7 folks were let go. The DAY it was announced.
In November, I found out that there would be some restructuring in our office and that I'd be reporting to a new boss.
In December, I found out that our entire group would be moving back up to the main floor. The timetable for the move? The first week in January.
This week? I found out my new boss would be leaving for a new job. This caused the office to restructure once more and I would be reporting to a new person by the end of the month.
I'll be on my 3rd boss in less than a quarter of a year. Can you believe it? Changes, changes, changes!

Quietly going through life
I'm still here.
...
...
The kids are growing like weeds.
I'm reading a lot more nowadays.
Spending a lot less time on the computer at home.
Work has kept me on my toes.
I'm still working on my marriage.
WE'RE still working on our marriage.
Still getting things worked out.
Nothing has been decided.
We're trying to balance our give and take.
We're trying to find happiness.
