OK, so I posted last week about feeling blah cause I lost some work and the economy sucks, etc.  Well…….it gets worse….much, much worse!

My hubby had to go to work on Thursday and he was not at all looking forward to it because he had to fire a bunch of people beneath him.  He hated doing it, but it was part of his job.  So then, when he was done, he got a call from his boss and HE WAS FIRED TOO!  In fact, they fired his whole department!  He was shocked!  I mean, what fuckers!  They had him do all their dirty work, then fired him and all his counterparts.  Why?  To save money.  FUCK G.W. BUSH and this FUCKING WAR!!!

Seriously.  So here we are.  2 kids and very little money.  Did we save for this eventuality?  Hell no.  We never saw it coming.  My hubby was upper, upper management (not upper enough apparently) and now he is gone and his department is gone - no severance, no insurance no nothing.  Illinois is an at-will state, and he was an at-will employee.  Now he is not an employee.  Sucks. 

I know we are by far not the only ones going through this.  It is happening all over the place.  It disgusts me.  So now what?  Health insurance, food stamps?  Burn through our savings to live until he finds a job in his field?  Uggghhh.  My head hurts!

It is true what they say, when it rains, it pours…and it is pouring shit right now!
