Thanks everybody! I was a little in shock yesterday because everything happened so fast. I woke up poor, but went to bed solid middle class!  I'm happy for him and he seems to be doing pretty well with the sudden change. He filled out his paperwork this morning and spent the rest of the day gathering tools, getting his social security card straightened out (he lost his), and getting his truck fixed. He ''officially'' starts tomorrow. The sad part is that we were supposed to go to Atlanta this weekend for a friends birthday party, but now he will have to work. They want him on Saturday. Oh well, I'll make the trip myself. Aside from the money, the upside is full health insurance and precription coverage!!! Yay! He'll also be on a fairly rigid schedule. Waking up at the same time, eating at the same time, going to bed at the same time, etc. My husband functions quite well when he does those things. The downside is that they want him to work up to sixty hours a week to start out. I'm concerned it's quite a bit, but he seems up to the challenge and it won't be the first time in his life he's worked those kind of hours. Also, I'm kind of sad that, because of his schedule, we won't be able to see each other as often as we planned. We're currently living three hours apart in different states because I'm finishing up school and there were just NO jobs in the area that fit his background. I think we can work it out with phone calls, and I can go down once in awhile on the weekends. I miss him though. And it's only until the middle of summer.... |
