We had layoffs this past Friday...

I want to say it was a complete shock. Instead I was rather shocked who was let go. I started to worry and think about the situation my friends are currently in. I work in Architecture our work is based a lot on the current housing market.

As I'm sure as you're aware if there's no need to build we won't. Our clients might find it difficult to obtain the necessary loan in order to construct. While I'm sure many have their own money needed for construction they're not willing to take the risk.

So the lenders won't lead, clients can't build yet clients won't build because peopling are not buying.

Because my job at the firm is in a administrative assistant role it might not be too difficult to find work if I was laid off. We can work in all types of industries. We're adaptable I guess. Now is there's an industry that doesn't suffer layoffs due to the current conditions of the market? According to the Food Network the candy industry is the only one that doesn't. I don't know how true that is, but they reason that its because no matter what the cost people will always purchase their favorite candy.

My prayers are for my co-workers who were let go. Why you were chosen I don't know but try to think of it as an new opportunity. (Easier said then done, I know!). But KP's mom is right "when God closes one door He opens a window."

There Are Times When Even The Internet Is Boring...

I've decided to start carrying a notebook around with me. No not a huge notebook just something small to write my random things. Whether I'm on the bus or walking outside my mind is working overtime. I especially enjoy the moments when I think about all the things I can write about on my blog. As you can tell I haven't posted a single one of them. Ok I'll get the notebook and post more often. But here are some random thoughts for you.

I've started to realize that having a computer at home and not have internet access means I don't use the computer very much. So I want internet access but I don't want to get it just yet. I will a bit before I do.

Now lately I feel as those I'm in limbo. Neither here nor there just stuck in the middle. Eduardo was having a hard time earlier this week. The frustration of our situation has caused him to fall into a depression. Its harder for me to talk to him when he gets like that. I don't know what to say or do that would help him to get out of his funk. So I just listen and pray that he does get better. I will admit that it does drain me emotionally.

Aaron has been back to school for about a week and half. Simply put.... its uh interesting. I attended the 1st Local School Council meeting and my gosh what a disaster. I don't know that I can make it to the next one. I told them at the meeting that if they continued to have the meeting at 9 am it impossible for a full-time working parent to get to them. But I tell you there were so many people at the meeting I wonder if they are welling to move the meeting time.

There's tons more to post but the lunch hour is over... Oh before I forget Happy Birthday to my wonderful mom!
