In about a month, my husband has told me, he is quitting his job.  He’s been with this company for almost 6 and a half years.  We actually used to work together at this company and were a great team (no we did not meet at work – we were a couple before we started).  It used to be a great living, wonderful recognition, and a rewarding experience for my husband.  It has been reduced to a panic mode of resource preservation as the stock prices dip below $3.50 a share.  He is mentally checked out and ready to move on and the last “event” (long story) was the proverbial straw on his back and I support his decision.

So, like my subject line says – I should be more stressed but I just feel like everything is going to be OK.  I think Mr. Tolerable feels the same because when he called me to tell me of his decision the normal level of stress I have been hearing in his voice was gone.  I heard his old bouncy voice on the other end of the phone.  He told me he feels like a weight has just been taken off of his shoulders after having made this decision.  I feel that same lightness.

So, yes, he’s quitting his job and No, he doesn’t have another one lined up.  But, we will be OK.  I love, trust and believe in him so much that I know he will find something that can both pay the bills and be something he loves doing again.  I would rather live in a box with him and the kids with him doing something that makes him feel appreciated and like he’s contributing something than to have him just stay where he is out of fear.

So, any of you lurkers out there have a position open for a highly intelligent (seriously, he has been tested and found to be a genius), computer geek who has exceptional writing, communicating, management, problem solving, and sales skills?  Email me at mandy@theycallmebobby.com !  I’ll have him send you a resume!
