Stress

Things have not been going well at work of late.  We had two jobs for this summer but both have been put off until next summer.  Now it is too late to find more work.  Summer jobs are already under contract, if not already started.  So, poof, no work for this summer.  That means that Vol Fan has been laid off.

Thankfully, he has another job lined up already.  But change is always unsettling. 

Mainly I am concerned for The Boss Man and his family.  No summer jobs for him means no income.  He is a saver like our Dad so he has some room to coast.  And all would be well until the jobs start next summer but there is a wrench in the situation.

Last summer we did a job in Franklin, Tennessee.  And thru a series of events that is the biggest tangled web of troubles you could ever imagine, their financing is still on the skids.  Which means that they have not paid us for our work - like to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars.

That kind of non-payment has the whole apple cart on the verge of being spilled.  The company has been able to hang on thus far but I'm not sure how much longer we can take the strain.  So if that happens, I will lose my job too.  But more than that, The Boss Man will lose everything.

I am scared for him.

I am scared for me.

So that adds up to a whole lot of stress and stress sucks.
