Hmmmm...

Well its been a while. My husband was laid off a few weeks ago and I have 2 finals and a midterm due this week. I haven't been surfing the net as much because he has been using it looking for work. And the last 2 weeks I have had papers and projects to work on. He has been on 5 job interviews and has gone to 2 job fairs and still nothing. It's a weird time to look for work in this area because most of the decent jobs are contracting jobs through the government and their fiscal year ends October 1st and begins on October 31st. No one is hiring, but they are conducting interviews for jobs that will start in November. Since he was laid off in the middle of a pay period he has 1 more check coming and it will be for 1 week and 1 day worth of work. I can't wait for him to find a job. I have not been seeking out too many deals because frankly we don't have the money. Once he starts work we will be playing catch-up and hopefully he will be making the same or more than he did before the pay cut. I have also been looking for a job. My school schedule changes next week so hopefully I will be able to find somewhere that will work with my school hours.
