Suckage.

Yeah - it does suck. Just one more reason why he needs to find a new job.

The only thing is - we were just going to try to get an FHA loan for a house near to my job, then he would look for a new job and finally quit that one. I have no idea if we can qualify now. I was unsure before - having never bought a house before - but now I'm feeling very discouraged about it.

It wasn't personal though - his entire office will be 4 days a week. It's just that anyone on salary was put to hourly and they used some wacky method to calculate how much that meant he made per hour.

I just don't get that though... he wasn't working 10 hour days for the fun of it. There was work to be done. So, what will happen now? They won't pay him overtime. It's just more stress - and with his recent anxiety it's just a grand effing day!

So, he wore shorts and flip flops to work today. Yesterday we discussed if his work was trying to make people quit. I asked him if he was trying to make them fire him. No, he says. Just his form of protest for the day I guess. Whatever.

It's going to be a GREAT DAY! I've got to go with that before I start worrying too much. Everything is going to be fine. (saying it enough makes it true - and I won't listen if you tell me otherwise!)
