Well after 20 years of service my wife lost her job the other day.she was called to the office and was told that they will no longer have an art program due to cutbacks(BS )we think that it is more along the lines of the director bringing in his own people or having one of the other teachers teach it. at the end of the discussion he told he i have a box in my office,go upstairs and pack your belongings and don't come back tomorrow. to which my wif replied after 20 years all i get is a ******* box. They sent the school psycologist with her and while my wife was packing she asked if she wanted to talk about it. my wife replied what the hell is there to talk about i have more senority than anyone here and i got shafted.

Later when my wife got home next thing we know her mom shows up.the school psych called her and told her she thinks that my wife will commit suicide.Granted my wife was upset,but nowhere that upset.more along the lines of i will cuss them <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> holes up one side and down the other.Sitting there watching and listening to the wife vent,i thought to myself damn good thing i done the honey-do list then some.I did not want to be in the line of the anger and hate she was letting out.

Out of all this the worse part is the 55k a year we will be lacking.anyone that lives in the tri state area(NY,NJ,CT) knows how much that is in our area.concedering everything it will make the differance between being homeless or not. I really hope she can find something before sept. If not what we have saved will last through nov. then the real battle begins,the battle to keep afloat.
