Jobs, We Don't Need No Stinkin' Jobs!

Forest has had a feeling for a few weeks now, something was about to change. He also knew that the City of Dallas was renegotiating their contract with Compucom. He had a meeting on Friday and while his bosses fought to keep them, they are letting most of them go. Forest's last day is on Wednesday. The library will no longer have a designated support team (or, as is the case with Forest now, support person) and neither will public safety divisions, such as fire and police. One person will do the support for all of those things and for some reason they chose not to keep Forest (and he told me he wouldn't want to do that anyway!).

So, what does this mean for us? The best case scenario is that Forest finds a job in the next few weeks (he has a months worth of severance) and we save whatever severance we don't need to use, that would be wonderful! The next best and probably what will happen is that it takes the entire month to find a job and we break even. If we don't have to dip into our savings, I will be happy. Neither of us have been upset, or nervous about our future, because we know we'll be taken care of. Forest is happy to get some time to relax after the last 9 months of pure madness at the Library and it will give him time to get some things done that he's not had time to do. It comes at a convenient time for me as well, Gracie is going to be on the other side of the country for 2 weeks, so now I'll have Forest here to keep me company!

Although Forest will enjoy this little respite from work, he still does need to find a job, so if any of my blog readers know of any contacts in the IT world, please let us know. Thanks everyone! :)
