Chasm of Despair???
I saw myself, in my mind, standing on a tall rock in the middle of the desert raising my fist at God.. Pissed off. More than I have been in a very long time. More that I have EVER been now that I think about it.
Why?!
WHY are you doing this to us AGAIN?
What have we done to deserve this?(besides being the pathetic sinners that we are) We have been doing so well!! Sinners still the same but damn it, we’ve been so faithful, more than EVER before!! WHY is this happening AGAIN!?!??!?
Why is it US that has to go through such difficult financial times? We see our friends financially thrive and we’re barely hanging on!! We tithe faithfully and are good stewards of our money and yet here we go again, having to hope people help us.. again??? Having to hope we dont lose our house for sure this time? We still havent recovered from the times in the past this has happened and now we’re doing this again? WHY!!!!!
Why would you do this to us? Why DO you do this to us?
Because I am yours, and you are mine.. It is because you belong to me and because you serve me that I bring this to you. Because I know you will rely on ME and only me to get you through this.. Because you serve me, you CAN endure this. Again and again and again….
My husband lost his job again today. He was laid off because he was working for THE SAME company he was working for this time last year, to the day, and they didnt realize it when they rehired him 6 months ago. They even had him going on permanent status effective April 1. It is against their company policy to rehire any workers and it wasnt until they processed him at corporate that they realized they had rehired him, so they had to let him go.
Idiots?
I think so.
Broken hearted and angry?
Very much so.

That’s a weird policy in this day of poor economy and layoffs that are not the fault of the employee — and it’s NOT FAIR! I’m so sorry, Shann ~ ~ ~
There are no words…..I am so sorry. Once again, the ones who work hard to do a good job get crapped on…..I have no answers.
@slmret - and this is at the military base in Barstow… How STUPID can they be??? I am so disappointed in them, I get that people arent perfect but give me a break.. 7 months he worked there before they realized he had previously been a temp there? Idiots.
@myseniormoments - I am just sickened by this all.. And then with my dad being there and now my daughters fiance being a jackass about their housing situation or lack thereof I finally told him today that if he didnt figure something out and didnt continue with their premarital counseling that he’s put off since his mothers death, that i would not push forward with the wedding and it would have to be postponed. He is so hard headed in regards to “this plan” he has, I found them an apartment that is for low income families and got them waived off the 2 year waiting list and he’s like ” I dont think I can afford it, I never get a say so bla bla bla’… Im like you know what. my husband just lost his job today I dont have the time or the money to be forking out for a wedding when my requirements arent being met so until they are, I will not put forth another dime!! I asked you to have a home for my daughter and to finish that counseling and you havent done either so untiil you do, everything is on hold.. you have a plan then make it happen, Im done trying to help you!! Shit.. Im so dissappointed.
Im sure he is crying ahah Im just fed up with everything. I am not sure how much more I can take.
@ShannSanctified - Do you mean to tell me that they won’t hire somebody who was previously hired TEMPORARILY? That makes it even worse as a policy!!! I’m so sorry, Shann.
oh damn honey I’m so sorry. I wish there was something we could do to help. sending you love and prayers
I’m glad you are trying to guide the future newlyweds…..he needs to listen to you….maybe he will take a deep breath and realize you are doing whatever you can to get them started out in the right way.
@slmret - haha yeah isnt that a kick in the head.. AND they didnt realize it for 7 months? They just made him manager of safety so obviously they trusted him… just hired him on permanent so they obviously liked his work ethic… sickening. Just sickening.
@myseniormoments - Nope.. My mom talked to him about it and he said “it’s too much money for a 1 bedroom apartment. I can rent a 3 bedroom house for that much”.. Well then head on !!! Im DONE helping his ass with this. If he doesnt have it together, I dont have to throw a wedding, simple as that. Mom said “well she turns 21 in June she can go to Vegas and get married” I said’ Head on then! I think that would be a horrible mistake on their part but if she wants to do that, whatever, I cant stop her.. and I will save a ton of money I dont necessarily have anymore so whatever”.
I dont think my daughter would do it without me so… Im not worried.
I could always be wrong though. Its been known to happen on occasion lol
@kikndevsmom - That is all I would ever ask of you is for your love and prayers.. there isnt much else I can do either so Im sorta in the same boat as you lol
trust. I really hope things start shining for you soon.
