Things are tense round here right now. California is slashing its education budget and Tom’s a teacher… so, we’re waiting to hear if his school district is going to lay him (and bunch of other teachers) off to try and meet their $5 million short-fall.
Neither one of us has made more than two years into a job before being laid off or having such a horrible situation that we couldn’t stay on any longer. And Tom’s a math & science teacher – that’s supposed to be stable work, y’know? And we moved to an area that desperately needed teachers. We made “good choices.”
“Good choices” don’t mean shit if the world is completely fucked.

Buggeration. I’ve got my fingers crossed, guys.

Bleh. I am sorry that you have to worry about being punished for good choices. I hate saying “that is so unfair”, except for when it totally is. Like now.

Wank. I hope it all works out.
