H turned in his application for the position outside of his company today...and has an interview for tomorrow! Holy schmoly, that was fast! At the same time, he should know by the end of the week what is going on at his current place of employment.
The super scary side is that my job is not entirely safe right now. We are doing a small layoff in a very specific area (Title teachers, for those in the know). In Oregon, you must have an endorsement in the area you teach. If you are laid off and have other endorsements, you can bump someone who has fewer years in than you. I am on year 4, so not real high on the totem pole. If a Title teacher with more than 4 years is laid off and has a theatre endorsement then I will be out of a job. I spoke with my principal today to see if he knew anything and he just asked me to trust him. Gulp. Scary. I don't like the not knowing at all.
So here we are, me facing a potential lay off and H facing a potential job change all at the same time. I'm starting to question if it's smart for him to change jobs right now since it's generally last in first out in a round of layoffs, so if something happened he'd be laid off from the new company and we'd find ourselves without any income at all. Double gulp. Double scary.
I guess what I'm asking is for prayers for guidance in knowing what to do should the options arise, and that I will have faith that God is in control and will help us through whatever challenges we face.
