No More Back Breaking For My Husband

My husband has been laid off from his work for going on 7 months. Work picks up every summer until the fall but for some reason the work's just not there this year. He's worked there for 2 years, and on average his days are 12+ hours plus, but it involves back breaking work, and he often comes home with bloody hands from digging holes with steel bars for 15 hours. He was starting to lose interest, let's put it that way. After waiting and waiting and being told "next week" a thousand times, he decided he doesn't want to do it anymore, and applied at Starbucks. I looked into the benefits of Starbucks, and I can't believe how well they treat their employees!

Find one other company as involved in charities, and global outreach programs. . . and gives their PART TIME employees BENEFITS!!!!! It blows my mind. I really hope he gets the job, he's had one interview thus far, and has a follow up tomorrow, so I'm really pulling for him. He works at TMCC in the Microbiology Lab during the year and also tutors, but having this job will definitely give us benefits (after 120 days)that we need. I know that I've written about my dilemma about wanting to have a baby and whatnot, and now that I've wavered back and forth, Vince has taken a position against the idea. . . . for now haha. I'm just excited that maybe once we have insurance we can for once rest a little easier. Although he's athletic, he suffers from asthma, and has had two surgeries on his ankle. Insurance would definitely be peace of mind.

Anyways, for any of you reading this, wish him luck tomorrow for his interview!!!
