Well it was an interesting day today. I got a phone call from W today and she told me that she lost her job.
I've been speculating that this might happen based on her MLC but on some level didn't believe that it would. I must say that it is jolt of validation that she is not herself. She even commented to me that she has never lost her job before. And she hasn't. W has always been a top performer in every job she has ever had. I hope this is a shock to her system.
W's prospects don't look good at the moment. She got 8 weeks severance which will give her some time to find another job but the company she worked for paid well above average and she admits that no one is hiring in her indusry right now. So even if she finds another job, it is likely she will have to take a sizable pay cut.
I feel like a complete ass for feeling this way but I'm actually kind of excited that she lost the job. Don't get me wrong, I am concerned for her and I did tell her to let me know if she needs anything. However, this places her MLC life in jeopardy. He and OW just bought a house together. It is very possible W will no longer be able to afford it. She won't be able to afford her party life now and who knows how this will effect their R. I'm trying to have no expectations but I've been day dreaming a lot today.
