Just a RANT

My husband hates his job. He's been there for 8 weeks and wants to leave. It is a big company. It is a great company. They have a pension!

At the park a few days ago, my kids were captivated by the man cleaning the port o johns. He pumped them out, hosed them down... I thought "that's got to be the #$%&-iest job ever!"

I want to be supportive of my husband, but there are times when I just feel like -SUCK IT UP! This is what you have to do if you want to make the big bucks. It sure beats sucking #$%$ out of a port of john! At his last job, hardly a week went by when we weren't worried about lay offs. In fact, by the time he left in March only 3 out of 10 team members were still there. It put a pit in my stomach to think of not having a pay check coming in. We are not wreckless with our money, but with me staying home with the kids and the bills going up up up, we barely seem to make it at the end of the month. I hope I am just a sounding board for him and that he can be a little less gloom and doom on the job. Everyone has a jerk for a boss and whole mess of weirdos as co-workers. I really think you need to look at the long term potential of where ever you are and if it means putting up with a few months of misery -so be it. Am I cold-hearted? Obviously I can not say these things to my poor DH. I know he needs to vent, and I know that I can not make him feel any differently than he does. I want to be supportive, but I also want to protect our family. Give it a year I say.... Give it a year.....
