Thanks for all the kind words, folks. I've still got until the end of the week at Woodmaster, then I can apply for unemployment if nothing else comes along.
The slightly depressing bit is that both mine and my wife's schedules worked out almost perfect with each other. Any other job I get is most likely going to conflict with hers.
The one good thing is if I can get the sparky job, she'll be able to pretty much quit her job and we'll financially be in the same boat we are now.
So hopefully all your well-wishing has a good effect!!
Thanks again for listening to my sob story. I really do appreciate all the good "vibes".
One bad side to it all is it appears the added stress has made my psoriasis act up again.....
P.S. The company owners really winced when I muttered something to the effect of, "Merry ****ing Christmas to us, huh?"
