Nestie juju for my sister and her husband

Does anyone have some juju to spare?  My sister has been on short-term unemployment for a few months and it's become obvious in the last two weeks that her firm is not going to make it and, in all likelihood, her unemployment is permanent. The problem is, there have been no positions in her field offered in her region for the last five months.  Her husband got laid off on Friday.  It's breaking my heart. They were married a month ago and they can't leave their region because her husband is on the waitlist for a clinical trial that he really needs to be in.  My sister is now looking for a job outside her field but it makes me so sad to see her have to do that.

So, since I fully believe in the power of Nestie positive thinking, would you please send some job juju their way?

  • What a difficult way to begin a marriage.  I hope this "for worse" period is over soon and they can have many years of "for better" in the future.

  • Oh Jen, I'm so sorry to hear- as others have said, what a difficult thing to go through just after getting married! Sending lots and lots of good vibes their way, and hopefully something pops up ASAP for her in the field!

  • Jen that just SUCKS.

    My job juju is pretty pathetic right now-- since I can't even get a job myself, but I will send a ton of empathy juju as well as whatever other juju I can muster up.
