RN Thanks so much, you guys. Jim finally broke down this morning and so did I. We're going this afternoon to drop off my new car and to clean out his desk. A sad day all around. At least he can apply for unemployment. I feel so selfish even being sad about losing my new car but I love it so much. Oh well.

RN Thanks, guys. It wouldn't be quite so bad if I had a job but hubby's was our only income. I'm looking for work now.

Twinkie something you and your DH can do right now is call your local census office. They are looking like crazy for temporary (but longish term temp) people. The management positions are about a year, up to two years and pay rather well. Out here they are testing for those right now. I believe it is a national thing. The last day of testing is something like June 1 (though it may be May 26. So call today!!

They also have different phases for which they are looking for enumerators and listers. Those would be much shorter phases. But still half decent $$$. The next phase for these jobs is supposed to start in August.

Dh got phased out in April and I have been a sahm for several years. I worked one census phase last month but it lasted only a few weeks. So yeah, we feel freaked out. Big Time. Plus we have two little kids to think of. DH, Abby and I, no biggie if we have to move. But for Ryan, especially with his special needs, it would be a whole lot more stressful and life changing for him.

And dh has put out like a billion resumes and has been networking like mad and not so much as one of those prescreening phone interviews. Hell he is not even getting any rejection letters! I've put out resumes and stuff too, and I have not gotten any nibbles either...

RN Thanks so much, everyone. Hubby's office is cleaned out and my car is returned. Pretty bleak day. Coming here is a relief and I'm grateful to all of you. Julie, I will tell hubby about the census and we will check it out tomorrow. Thank you. My heart is aching for my husband. His boss was there today and in shock from last night's town board meeting culminating in hubby's job elimination. Everyone he works with was in shock today. They hated to see him go as much as he hated to leave. Rough day for my sweetheart.

twinkie, again so sorry. i recall, years ago, when you posted about your hubby starting a new job and your excitement. not sure if this is/was the same job.

it really must be hard to see him so sad. (hug to him too)

RN Thanks, guys. Abby, that was the job before this one. He's been working his way up the food chain to finally, this job, the gov. job he's always wanted. He's been with this job for 2+ years and really loves it. His boss is going to try to push to get him reinstated. That's not very likely to happen but its nice to know his boss is that happy with him.
