A Blessing; and A Curse

First, the Blessing.

We found out two days ago that because of some changes happening with my work at the beginning of September, my position with "the company" would be dissolved.

Doesn't sound much like a blessing, right? Despite the "dissolution," I, however, would retain a paycheck as a "consultant." But, we lose our insurance and have to calculate our taxes since they wouldn't be taken out...

Having 15 days to find new insurance seemed rather daunting. But we figured we'd start to look.

In the meantime, JEE has been waiting to hear about her employment- she got a great job...on a temp-to-maybe-hire basis. Short story is they thought she was amazing ('cuz she is!), and they offered her the permanent position today.

Blessing!

She'll make good money, and get benefits. Difficulty solved.

The Curse...

Been catching up with some friends from the OPM days. Apparently about half my companions have had challenges getting from ring to altar ... Hopefully it's not a lingering ailment of time spent as my roommate ...
