Both my husband & I have been through this in the last 2 years. Husband is a head hunter so you can imagine how that is going in this economy (it's not). He is highly underemployed...Melissa above thank you so much for the term shitacular...cannot wait to start using it. <br /><br />Anyway- fingers crossed he gets it, new boss is not a nightmare, you get to stay in Austin, etc., etc.Ginnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-33269766989852080602011-05-10T15:16:20.434-05:002011-05-10T15:16:20.434-05:00Yeesh!

He is luck to have a job but he used the words, "soul-sucking" to describe it. He's scoured the area for jobs in his field but it is getting to the point where we may also have to look elsewhere.<br /><br /> His company recently received Big Military Contract, and anyone working had to be born in the U.S., thus eliminating 80% of my hubby's competition. Even though my husband was the most qualified for the job they gave the lead position to another employee whose track record is total crap but is a good ass kisser. When he told me I was PISSED, more pissed than he was. I am hoping so much for him to find a job that is more fulfilling. I really hope this works out for you guys!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-21910718840701760622011-05-10T12:10:56.327-05:002011-05-10T12:10:56.327-05:00WOW.

My husband is currently working a shitacular job that requires him to be out of the state 4 months a year, and for 3 months while he's home, he works 14 hour days, 6 days a week. We can't have kids while he has this job!! He's been applying for new positions within the company and at new places for over a year now. He was finally offered a position, turned in his 2 weeks notice, and the DAY before his 2 weeks were up, the new company retracted their offer. We're lucky that his company was happy to keep him, but he still hates his job, hates the hours, etc.<br /><br />Anyway, all of that was to say that I completely understand watching the man you love try so hard to get a job and have little success. Thank you for writing about this because it reminds me that it's okay for me to be upset too. It's hard to be a full-time cheerleader when there's not a lot to cheer about.Melissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-14588372849812204892011-05-10T09:27:55.562-05:002011-05-10T09:27:55.562-05:00Lisa and EH, I'm right there with you...Lisa and EH, I'm right there with you...LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-18467880967031719672011-05-10T09:27:10.242-05:002011-05-10T09:27:10.242-05:00I know how much this sucks - it was my life for ab...I know how much this sucks - it was my life for about 6 months last year.

Part of me asks, "How far will he be from this idiot? (in order to avoid future craziness) while part of me commiserates and seconds your thoughts about how demoralizing this job market is. My dh is all out of "Oh poor baby" helpful comments. Pray tell: how do I convince our two they need to work hard in school when Attorney Mom(me) has been out of work for most of the past 3 years and unpaid for work for..four? This is NOT why I went to law school.. my tastes are way too grand for fishing quarters out of the couch and deferring student loan payments.
