pegkerrRob just called. He has lost his job at Ultimate Electronics.
His boss had tears in his eyes when he told Rob the news. It's nobody's fault. It's just the economy. People aren't stopping at the store and buying big screen TVs. He has to start the job hunt all over again.
More to come later, but for now I'm just in shock. Rob's boss said they'd approve unemployment, but we don't know how long the benefit will last since he wasn't at work there for very long, just six months. We do have some savings.
I know the drill, and we'll start taking all the steps we took to contract the budget last time around. Thank heavens we had not yet cancelled the unemployment insurance benefit on two of the credit cards.
But you know what absolutely kills me? We just put braces on Fiona's teeth. The first payment is due July 1. We wouldn't have gone ahead if we'd known this was going to happen.
I want someone to take me out drinking soon. Hey, another martini night, anyone?
