So. I keep sitting down at the computer to write a post but I never make myself do it. Things here are chaotic. Why you ask?

LMK is being laid off. I can finally type it and say it without bursting into tears. It's taken me almost a month to be able to do that.

  • It's not just the fact that he's being laid off that upsets me.
  • It's that we have to move out of our house by June 30th.
  • It's that he's being laid off instead of other people who are less senior than him.
  • It's that the Dean took him to lunch two days before they dropped the bombshell and told while they were going to be going in a different direction for the soccer coaching position next year, but not to worry he would be getting a contract for next year.
  • It's not that now they're sending "spies" and making him submit practice plans to rationalize their decision to lay him off.
  • It's that they sabotaged not one, but TWO potential jobs for him in December because they wouldn't let him out of his contract (as they told the perspective employers).
  • It's that they have the nerve to offer him the assistant athletic director job two weeks after telling him he won't be working there next year in exchange for us being able to stay in our house (that's working for $9,000 a year).
Needless to say, my grapes, they are sour.

In other news, Twin is getting married this weekend. She's also pregnant. I'm thrilled for her, but it's also depressing. I try not to dwell on it. Being an "aunt" is better than nothing.

The good news? He just got off the phone with a school in North Carolina. He has a interview a week from Friday. It's a job we both really want. Cross everything!
