It pays to discuss your woes!

There we were on a normal Wednesday evening....one of my bestest buddies and I discussing the trials of the DH's (dearest husband's for those new to my blogs) This is a usual topic of discussion for Col and I and we do it very well...it's venting with a plan! Colleen is probably one of the only people I can vent to and she understands that I REALLY DO LOVE my DH, despite our seemingly endless tribulations. The recent topic of discussion for both of us this day is our DH's comfort in their current underpaid and unsatisfying job. Both seem reluctant to seek out the better job. What could be the reason for this you ask....well it's all about comfort and their talent and success in these go nowhere positions. Both of us understand our DH's desire to hear good things about their work (which they both do)and an encouraging word increases testosterone levels dramatically and fear of change is enough to send anybody (not just DH's) into a cubby hole. Both of them have had their share of bad luck with past jobs. So there they both are in jobs that although they really aren't well paid, nor are they particularily satisfied...but what they do get is the comfort of knowing they are doing a great job and making their employer happy. Anyway enough background....bottom line is someone with the potential to offer my DH a change with the potential for satisfaction, good pay and great benefits was listening and after discussion is willing to review DH's resume and possibly give him a chance! I'm very excited for him! He's very excited about it! It does have one drawback, but it's a drawback that solves other issues such as transportation for us! It's on the nightshift....but it's not a bad nightshift, if that makes any sense. The shift starts at 10 pm and ends at 6:30 am. Not bad because it really still allows us the opportunity to have dinner together, spend quality time together (no more or less than we get with our current schedule) and he can still play pool or baseball come summer as this company allows flex hours if required for exta curricular activities. ( a perk they offer to keep the guys happy on nightshift) So as long as it's not every night of the week, it's okay to be a little late if needed. DH can take our one vehicle to work and still be back in time for me to get to work when I have to. All around everyone is happy. Anyway..more new beginnings, how exciting! TTYL
