Please don't jump on me for this. I just have to share and I have no "real" friends! LOL
DH is quitting his job November 5th. One day after his 5 year anniversary. They've made it pretty clear to him that they don't see him advancing there. He's been there 5 years and still isn't making even $10 an hour. He can't afford the health insurance they offer.
He doesn't have another job lined up yet. This is mainly due to the fact that his work schedule pretty much prohibits him scheduling interviews. If he calls in, he has to have a doctor's note.
He doesn't know what he wants to do. He's thinking about an apprenticeship. He doesn't know what field yet. There's a major housing boom going on here, so he'd probably find something pretty easily.
I just got my paralegal certificate, and I'm friends with a partner in a large law firm nearby. He's already told me they're holding a position for me starting November 1.
I'm just so happy because over the last few years, DH has gone from the happy, fun-loving man that I married, to the "don't talk to me, don't even look at me" grump that he is now.
On the vacation that we just took, he was back to normal. His job is sucking the life out of him. Working 10 days in a row with no overtime. Being "teased" by management that they can replace him at any time with someone making $4 an hour less. "California's an at-will state, ya know?"
Thank you for letting me share this. I'm just so thrilled that he'll be out from under their thumb. He's going to take his time and look for something that fits him better. My income will be enough to support us. We don't have any children or own our own home.
He also wants to join the Lion's Club, which his work schedule has never permitted him to do.
*Phew* I feel better now. We can't tell anyone we know because they all work with him. We're afraid that if word gets out, they'll fire him before he can quit, just so they don't have to pay him for his vacation or sick time.

Best wishes that he finds his niche quickly.
