My parents had a 1970 Fleetwood when I was little. Same grille and rear; metallic mint green. Rode like a dream.

What I needed to read today.

It is DH’s final day at this job. Monday starts yet ANOTHER spell of seemingly endless, fruitless, depressing job-hunting (with its related financial crimp).

How we crave a nice long stretch of time during which we don’t have to worry about whether our income will be jeopardized, have some much-needed emotional stability, and no fucking angst.

And, yet another countdown

Sat, 25 May 2013 18:10:00 -0400

DH’s assignment ends next Friday. This was the position he’d hoped would pan out and go permanent.

He’s emotionally detached from the job, but has been 100% productive because that is who he is.

He will have to reopen his claim for Unemployment. Though it will afford him more time to finish his CCNA certification, it’s still a depressing turn of events.

And now begins our typical summer schedule—Wildwood with the drum corps, Ocean City, MD for our anniversary, and Pittsburgh for DH’s birthday. These are already planned and we refuse to relinquish those plans.

We’ve been through this bullshit before, many times. Last year, he’d just broken his foot at the fire call and that made his unemployment that much worse.

At least this time he will be mobile, for what it’s worth.

It still sucks.

The Problem With Married Couples Who Choose To Have No Kids - Babble

Thu, 02 May 2013 17:33:00 -0400

The Problem With Married Couples Who Choose To Have No Kids - Babble:

“Married couples who have no kids are placing demands on a society that are making things difficult to raise a family. It’s selfish bullying.”

Bullying? That’s ridiculous. Let’s talk about “selfish.”

Let me get this straight, dude. YOU decided to have kids … why? For your own reasons—company in your old age and being “showered” with love and attention by your kids and grandchildren.

News flash: Not all elderly (included the childed) are so well looked-after, and there is no guarantee that your progeny will go on to have kids, or even live near you, for that matter. They might even end up hating your entitled, self-important guts.

Having kids to provide in some way for your old age isn’t selfish at all, right?

You seem to resent those who have decided against having children, and somehow think you are morally superior, but have to “sacrifice” so much.

Well guess what; having kids was your CHOICE. Life itself is expensive, let alone vacations. Perhaps some of us decided against going the kid route for economic reasons.

Maybe we would rather contribute to society through donations, volunteering and the like. Perhaps we’re involved with other people’s kids in some constructive way, or we are loving caretakers of animals.

How about all the state and property taxes we pony up? We don’t have kids, but we are helping put your kids through school and supporting many programs. We don’t get the tax breaks you do.

Or how about this—maybe we just don’t want to be parents, just as some people might not choose to pursue elephant breeding or flip houses. It’s a CHOICE.

And I’m very sorry your getaways are a huge production and financial drain. You CHOSE it. We did not.

Bitter much? Good. Marinate in it, but keep the spew to yourself. Seems to me that YOU are the “problem.”

WTF?

So DH goes into a meeting yesterday with his boss.

His contracting assignment will be ending effective June 1, not resulting in a hire.

Why?

Budget issues. Yeah flippin’ right.

How much more can this guy take before this job bullshit ends?

Seriously, WTF???????????
