A red-letter day in my life (again!)...my supervisor came and told me to be sure to update my resume and be ready to be booted out the door. I'm a "Term" employee in the USAF. A civilian instructor. I teach networking to airmen. Been here almost a year. Due to the ongoing degradation of our country's finances the budget gurus in Washington, D.C. say that we all have to bite the bullet - i.e., depts in the federal government better find ways to save money and remain viable and working at the same time. So...since I'm "Term" - which is like a "Temp" only with benefits - I'm going to lose my job. Today, two of my co-workers (one Temp, one Term) were given their notices to be out the door by September 30th.
This is one of those times that is a clear test of my faith - anyone's faith, really. I have a wife, mortgage, car payment(s), medical bills, etc. Normal stuff - but in this day and age, it's a tough road to travel on. Make that a ROUGH road to travel on. I'm not scared, maybe a bit nervous. It's not official yet that I'm out of a job but very close.
God be with me, God be with my wife, God be with all those I know that are going down this rough road.
