It just gets worse and worse

Adam lost his job today. He was officially "downsized"; he wasn't the only one, 5 people in total were let go, and they will probably eventually get rid of more. See, I should NEVER say "Things could be worse," because every time I say that, SOMETHING ELSE happens.

On the bright side, I guess, he picked up a job at a local call center. But he'll be making $4/hr LESS than he was making, and we were already struggling on what he was making before.

I'm strong and all, but I really don't know how much more crap I can take. Ever just feel like the universe is aligned against you?

Forgive me, again, if I don't reply right away - I really dont feel like talking to anyone right now, I just wanted to let anyone who cares know what's going on.

I don't know of anything to say to make you feel better.
Just want you to know that I'm thinking about you.

Hey Casey,

So sorry to hear about Adam's job Glad to hear he found something else though. I can sympathize with you about struggling financially since my bf was out of work for 5 months, and then when he finally found work he's making like $6 less per hour than his old job...it sucks. But I'm sure you'll be ok, like you said, you ARE strong and you will get through this!!!

Hang in there,
Kelly

I am sorry that Adam lost his job Casey. That is bad news. I can't deny that. Things will get better though Casey. You have to believe that. I know it is easier said than done. I am sending good thoughts your way. I know things will get better soon enough.

I'm one of those people who's always thinking it just can't get any worse and then it does, again and again and again. And yes I feel like I must have done something REALLY awful in a past life or something cause NOTHING EVER goes right for our family.
Big hugs, I hope things start to get better soon. And if you need to have a cry let it out (sometimes I lie in bed, cover myself with the doona and scream as loud as I can, or go for a drive and do it You look crazy but it sure helps).

Oh Casey, that just plain sucks!

You do whatever it is you want to do Casey. This is some pretty difficult news.

I will be thinking of you and sending you some good thoughts.

I've been there, done that. My husband has lost his job twice, so I can relate. It is a very stressful time for you both, but I'm sure you will get through it.

It does seem like when it rains, it pours, doesn't it?

((((Big hugs to you and to Adam.)))) I will pray that he finds an even better job soon. I'm sure God has something terrific planned for you two.
