Many of you have patiently followed my rants and ravings on the unemployment situation in America (especially my own) for nearly six years now.
My wife was working full time at a non-profit and teaching yoga classes at night.
I finally landed a part time position at the local big box retailer.
While things were not exactly getting better or turning around, they had settled into a very chaotic groove with which I could work.
Then today, without warning, my wife was let go from her position. "Not passionate enough about your work". (translation -- she has worked six years for a non-profit that advocated for the disabled and she was one of only two non-disabled there. The other, twenty years her junior, had her position before my wife had vacated the office).
Still reeling I have no idea what I am going to do next. Nor how much I'll be able to post in the near term.
