What's new...
Well, it's only been 8 months but it feels like forever. The new job is going well. I love the people in my department. The only bad thing is our super awesome dream of a manager left to work from home. Can't blame her if she has that opportunity. However, it sucks to have only been able to work under her for 5 months and now we get to deal with the uncertainty of who replaces her.
Things financially have been really shaky too. My husband's had horrible luck with his side of work. His department kicked him out the door on his 90th day of being an employee since they could and he didn't suck up to the right people. I don't feel like going into what happened, but it was very unfair and all politics. He did nothing wrong and got kicked out and made to look bad for no reason at all. This all happened back in March. He just now has found steady work so you can understand why finances are shaky. With a local union representing over 3000 people being locked out, work is very hard to find without papers and the right connections now.
We are now trying to get back on our feet yet again and hopefully to better secure our futures we are in the process of going back to school. I just hope we figure out some way to afford it and can at least get loans to cover it all. I can pay mine off with the tuition reimbursement, plus since I can transfer a lot over it shouldn't be that hard or long to get my bachelor's. With him though he's kinda starting from scratch since he's from Canada and no tuition reimbursement. He needs something though so he can get a job he's worthy of and keep it.
It just plain sucks. It feels like our entire 5 years of marriage have been this way. It's about time our life finds a direction and becomes more stable. I'm so tired of having to do this dance of trying to stretch too little money over so many bills since I'm already in debt from dumb decisions with credit and my last college degree.
Just felt like updating since I hadn't posted since I left my last job and I was so optimistic then. Everything felt like it was perfect and things were going to rock. Things would have if certain people hadn't had to throw their power around and cut people down who didn't deserve it while keeping the people who play on the internet all day long if you get my drift. Ah well. I'm sure these things happen for a reason and it wasn't meant to be. But it still really stings.
I also am fighting off some sort of illness. I keep feeling really blah and icky. Stomach and head feels horrible, no appetite, really tired no matter how much I sleep... I'm sure it's mostly due to money matters stressing me out but I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!
