Two days after Mollie died, Tim lost his job on January 20th. What a horrible week we had! Tim had been employed with this company for 9 years and this came as a shock to him. He was one of 15 booted out that day. They called it “economic cutbacks”. When I came home for lunch and saw his car in the drive way, it worried me. I walked in and said, “Please don’t tell me you lost your job”. To which he said, “I did”. He was so upset, but we came up with a plan together. He spent the next two weeks looking for a job, sending resumes and filling out applications. He went through a local temp agency and was able to get on with a distribution company. He has better hours, which gives us more family time. This company only hires twice a year and we’re hoping he will be selected for permanent employment when they begin the selection process. He really likes working there and it’s something different than what he had been doing.
