Buy Pringles, everybody.
Today Matt is officially unemployed. He has been suspended since Monday, and we were left with hope that his route would be changed or he would be at least demoted, but the evil 2010 gods of chaos would not let that be so.
Right now, I'm stressing. Having accepted his fire as inevitable this past weekend, then beginning to hope from the insinuations of Frito-Lay managers has left a sour taste in my mouth. While we had resolved to view this as an opportunity for Matt to find a more family-friendly, intellectually motivating career, we had both begun to believe that search would be done from the comfort of a weekly paycheck.
Matt is upbeat and confident that something will come his way. I feel helpless, annoyed with myself that the responsibility is falling upon his shoulders. Truly, his work experience outweighs my degree in finding a decent paying job. Why do college advisors allow degrees in English without a second degree of business, journalism, or education? Travesty.
Please keep us in your prayers that not only will Matt find a good-paying job quickly, but that said job is a good match for him.
It is true that 2010 has not started off well for a number of Warren men. I know in this economy job hunting is not the easiest; however, I have faith and confidence in these men of ours. More importantly, I have faith in our Lord knowing that he "takes care of the birds are we not much more important that them".

Huh...I just posted too! I just found this out and can't even believe this. I struggle for the right words to say, but I'll start with this: it's such a hard situation to accept and not be frustrated with. It's hard to not ask a million questions and feel anger and go on with life, just hoping things turn around. We always want to see concrete changes - isn't being patient so hard? Well, it is for me. I hope you know that Bill and I are here too. Our doors are always open, my phone is always on, we will always be here. You can count on us. I shed many, many tears for our family and mine on a daily basis (ha!) so if you ever need to vent, please do! We love you all. I just don't understand. Geeze..2010...please get better for us. I love you.
