Didnt see that one coming

well…we’ve been waiting and waiting to hear about a job in Ohio for Dean. today we got news we never expected, Dean’s getting laid off from his current position. As of Oct 31st he will not have a job. About 200 people are affected by this and they’ve been told theres potential to stay within the company or go w/ the company who will be subcontracted by his current company to do Deans job. But, upper management pulled Dean aside after the announcement and said they’ve been in contact with someone who’s just relocated to Cincinnati from Las Angeles to manage the new facility there. they will more than likely have a job for Dean there at the new office opening there, but he’ll be doing something different than he does currently. The new office opens the 2nd week in October. He’s getting a few weeks severance pay but our biggest concern now is making sure he has a job to go to. the whole time we were planning on his tranferring within the company to Ohio it never crossed our minds that his current job would fail to be here while we waited. So now there’s truly nothing holding us back as far a job here, it’s just needing a job to go to!! We’ll know more in the next week as they are ramping up the need for folks in Cincinnati as the opening date gets closer.
So…things have changed pretty quickly, but in a scary way!! We’ll be talking to a realtor tomorrow and probably will have our house for sale a lot sooner than we expected. There’s also a chance Dean will go to Ohio ahead of the kids and I to stay with his family and work as soon as he can there.
