Everyone's hours were being cut and I was only working maybe 8-12 hours per week at the very most. I put in my notice and even though I am doing my selling, I am keeping my eye open for other opportunities.
There was no room for advancement as this was a family owned franchise and all of their kids and grandkids (and the owners) were/are in charge. I have to say after working in this type of business, there is no way I would ever want to get back into it. Human Resources is more my specialty (Benefits and administrative).
With regard to H. It is so easy to veer off course from what I and many others have been doing (standing, praying, putting our faith/trust in God). My pattern seems to be when he is not here or does not contact us like I might think he should, that is where I begin to have doubts about my feelings, etc.
When he is here, yeah, he comes in all moody and everything but deep down, I know it is not us at all. After awhile, he can be okay. I have been doing a good job of letting him be for about 30 minutes while I am doing other things and he is out of sight. And really, how can you avoid someone in such a small house.
Sure, I get disgusted with what he is doing but I cannot change anything about it either.
As my son told me lastnight, Dad is just drifting, going around in circles, not making any decisions but he always comes back here and is with us.
