Funny, weird. Not "haha."

I haven't been around much lately because I've been busy and slightly depressed.  We found out last week that DH lost his job.  The circumstances and the timing are crappy.  We're scheduled for our big vacation this month, which we've been planning/paying on for 2 years.  One difference between DH and I has ALWAYS been....he's very calm and laid back.  Whereas I like to have a plan for almost everything!  (and I did....until now.)  He has a few prospects out there, which is good and reassuring.  But, I find myself freaking out at least once per day. 

Anyway, I just found it funny, DEFINITELY not "haha" funny, to poke my head in today and see these employment posts.  Thinking of you ladies who are in the same boat...I feel your pain!

Re: Funny, weird. Not "haha."

  • OMFG! I am so sorry! 

    Are you still going on vacation, like it's already paid for in full (I hope, I'm sure you need it!)

    Lots and lots of T&P and job vibes for your husband. Stay calm, come here and vent when necessary.

  •  I'm so sorry to hear.  :(  It really blows.  Please still try and enjoy your vacation though!

    H and I are this way too.  I'm like you and he keeps saying it's fine and we'll figure it out.  Yes, eventually we'll figure it out, but what are we going to do nooooowwwww?

  • Thanks ladies!  Yes, we plan to still go.  Everything is paid in full except food, so we won't be out much more.  And, YES, we need it!  I'm worried if he doesn't decide what he wants to do before we go....that I'll be freaking out on vacation.  And that won't be good.
  • I'm really sorry that this situation has come up for you! :(  Hope that another opportunity for your DH comes up soon and that you can fully enjoy your vacation!

  • I am sorry that your DH lost his job as well!  Seems like there are a few of us going through this whole thing right now.  Are you and DH still planning on taking your vacation?  I would definitely go since you guys have been saving for so long!  I hope the propects your DH has out there lead to a new job really soon!

  • That really sucks, Danielle. I hope you're still able to go on your vacation. I guess that's going to push back some other plans, too. I know you have to be bummed.

  • WTF? I've been busy all day at work and only now started catching up and I read all 3 posts back to back. This just sucks. I am so sorry! I'm glad to hear you're still taking the vacation and I really hope something else comes through soon.

  • Dude!  That sucks.  I'm sorry. 

    The good news is we are in the new house and I like feeding people!  Yay for free dinners!  ;)


    *I hope you aren't offended by my joke which is actually a whole-hearted offer.  I did promise you a sushi night.  :)

  • Not offended at all, that's very sweet.  Thank you, maybe I'll take you up on it when we get back!  haha
  • I'm sorry. I hope he finds something soon.
  • Oh, man, Danielle. I'm sorry to hear about your DH losing his job. I hope you are able to relax on vacation and he finds new work very soon.

  • So sorry to read this. =(  But glad you'll still be going on vacation.  I know how much you've been looking forward to it.

    Good luck to your DH finding a new job he loves and soon!
