I'm back now. Where the heck do I pick up?
Hmmm. Its Wednesday already. Crap dude!!!
Where has my week gone?!?!
I am not feeling so hot today. Not sure why. Just off.
Yesterday I had a minor break down and realized that Jesse has something like 37 days left till his job is GONE. I then assessed our financial situation. Again. Yep, I freaked out
But seriously.....A job = Money!!! & Benefits!!! Both things are necessary for survival as far as we are concerned. People keep trying to remind me that he will qualify for unemployment....but thats still gotta kick in a week after the lay-off date AND its only going to pay about 55% of his wages from before. Ugh!!!
Anybody want to hire my hubby??? My hubby who hasn't finished his BA, because of money and timing and all those sorts of reasons. 4 years of Active Military service. Military Police experience. He currently has his "guard card" but not his weapons cards...although we know he could get them. Hes got experience dispatching. Hes provided private security for Presidential visits and some pretty crazy big wigs & stars. Hes done electrical work, basic plumbing & carpentry. Theres more.
Anyways...We should be ok for 2 months, post lay-off. July 1st is the breaking point. I'm pretty sure that a job will come along before July. If it was closer to fall semester..well thats another story, but we'd probably be fine. If the semester was starting in that 2 month window, then Jesse would go back to school. But it isn't. Flip! Jesse has already applied to the security company out at Beale AFB. Hes also applied at Thunder Valley Resort & Casino for 7 or 8 positions now....although 2-3 are the preferred jobs. Hes also submitted resumes to 3 or 4 online job sites now. He also pplied with a radio station & is starting the application for TSA today. Craigslist has become full of "get rich quick" schemes and false jobs...and and jobs that pay piddly wages and no benefits.
Lots to process going on right now. LOTS. I'm remaining calm, cool & collected. Minor panic attacks are allowed.
I will continue to pray that Jesse finds a GOOD job! Has your church been of any help as far as networking or non-publicized jobs? Sometimes knowing people that have a foot in the door somewhere can be helpful especially in a smaller community. I hope he doesn't have to commute far. Hang in there...
