I went on maternity leave in June and it's now the end of December. My company never re-assigned me to a new job once my maternity leave was over. Today the Program Manager called to say there was a reduction in work force and I would be receiving a letter in the mail and it was really nice to work with me. Wow. Laid off. I've been in construction for 5 years with the same company and as of the end of this month I am no longer employed. Looks like things were figured out for me and I get to stay home with baby without questioning if it was the right move or not. I think this is a good thing.
Charlie had his first cold this week. He is on day three and he is so much better than he was yesterday. I put him in his crib while his eyes were still open and he actually fell asleep on his own. Oh, and yesterday I noticed that his second tooth came in, did I mention that already?
Unemployed. Cool.
Unemployed?
ReplyDeleteYou have the toughest Job on the planet.
Don't worry....I hear the pension is great!
The way I see it, I am employed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and don't have a paycheck to prove it. But it's the best job I've ever had.
ReplyDeleteI agree with L and Kirbyface, toughest job on the planet. I'm really glad you get to stay home with Charlie - you will never look back and regret that decision, whether you made it on your own or not.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear he's sick! Sick babies are the worst!!
