So here it is. The blog I’ve been wanting to write but wasn’t sure how to put it all into words. To sum it up – due to restructuring at Andrew’s company, they eliminated his position.
Andrew. The West Point Graduate. Andrew. The Veteran. Andrew. The Overall Great Guy.
We know it wasn’t personal. It all came down to numbers but still, it’s all just so crazy.
We are now fortunately (if you could call it that!) living on a few weeks of severance while we both aggressively apply for job after job. Andrew has several head hunters helping him and some of my good friends in television news are doing what they can to help build up my confidence and get me back in a newsroom.
Despite it all, Andrew and I really aren’t that worried. We know that somehow we will be fine. We have our family. We have our health. We have some Spam in the pantry. (I originally bought that as a joke a few weeks ago, now it seems it might come in handy!)
As cliche’ as it may sound, it could always be worse and we do believe that this could lead to bigger and better things for us. Fingers crossed.
Say what?
