Suck.

Suck.

So. Erik lost his job today. They had a round of layoffs, which was totally not surprising at all.

Not surprising doesn't mean not sucking, though.

I'm feeling kind of optimistic, which is strange for me considering how long he was out of work the last time. Well, I guess it's because he wasn't really out of work the whole time, he was just out of his field. And given the fact that his field isn't a very fancy pants high salary kind of gig, he really wasn't making any less in those in between times. I think that's helping me a bit. I know the bad side to him not doing what he loved was that he was uneasy and bored about it, but I think that nowadays there's a little bit more to life and he'd be more willing to just do something.

And a big part of me is really, really looking forward to having someone around during the day for a little while. Maybe we'll even catch up on cleaning the house. Maybe. Though if it were me, I'd hurry up and get a job so that I didn't have to organize the closets. Procrastination is a large motivator in my life.

Anyway, so I know I just spewed out two paragraphs of optimism, but we should leave on this note: this sucks.
