Fi just called me in meltdown mode. He quit his job over the weekend because 2 of his athletes said they wanted him to come work for them instead of for their team. They told him it was a go and he could quit so it was out in the open and he could leave when they needed him to. He was supposed to finish out the week but because of some ego drama with his old boss flipping out about leaving to go work for himself, FI came home on Tuesday for a week before leaving for his new job. So when he called, he said one of the players was now saying he wasn't sure if he wanted to work with FI because he's never worked out during season before! The 2 players were supposed to split FI's living costs (since it is seasonal work) and then pay him for training. Well when the first player found out the second player might pull out, he seemed to start to waiver at being the only one to train with him and having to cough up all of the expenses. So right now, less than a week before he was supposed to start he's not sure if he has a job any more! These guys would have totally screwed him. FI is obviously freaked out. And, so am I but I need to be the calm one to keep FI calm, so needed an outlet. Plus, my confession today was about how sad I was we'd rarely see each other with this job (and I talked to FI about it this am) so I feel like I totally jinxed it! I know it isn't actually my fault but now I feel like an a$$ for complaining!!!!!!!
More than the money or anything (we can make it work somehow, someway) I'm afraid of what this would do to FI. He has had some set backs in his career (mainly concentrated in the past 2 years too) and isn't where he wants to be. He thought this was going to be his big break and I feel like one more set back would just absolutely crush him. T&P please!!!!
