New Year, New Oportunities

This year, I can already tell I'm going to be faced with a few new hardships...or what can be conceived to some as opportunities.

First of all...with my job...things aren't too great. I'm already being forced to taking two days off a week now...and am looking for a part time job. As for said part time job...I have decided I might try substitute teaching. They are always in demand, especially during this season, since people get sick these days. And while I don't have much experience in the teaching area of life, this will at least give me the opportunity to gain one.

Which brings me to another "opportunity". Because of all this, I think I've decided if I like substitute teaching, I might decide to go back to school and get an actual teaching degree. It's all very up in the air at the moment, but at least I feel it's a direction I can take.

Also, career wise...WHF might have some issues this year, unfortunately. We heard a rumor that shared services is possibly going into effect in June. (This is where they cut his job and move it to a centralized location...in Nebraska.) I'm hoping against all hope that he's safe, as he was hired to be a staff accountant and not a specific job. I thought that's why they hired him with that specific title, but then again, we can't be too sure. So, things with his job are very up in the air as well.

I was hoping we'd get through these economy problems easily, but apparently, it appears we might not. I'm just hoping that things do end up on the up side. But if they are hardships, I really do hope they are just opportunities in disguise.
