It never rains, it POURS!

Another time to vent!

I have a job I love and have been working in for almost 2 years.  Over this time my husband and I have done the long-distance thing but he recently moved here.  Well, he JUST got a job in the area... right about this time I found out my job has been terminated.  I have been reassigned but this requires that I move.  Its tough because I have a lot of close friends here - that is the worst part, leaving my friends.

Im a scientist in a VERY rural area (town of 10,000 people)- there are no other job opportunites here (for what I am qualified to do) other than those at this company and a few low paying positions at the university (I would make 1/4 of what I make now "if" I got a job there).  This is the only other job I am eligable for at this company and, if I dont except it,  I will be jobless as of now - Im in MO and a company only needs to give 1 day notice for job termination.  The new position is in a major city in MO and there will be more opportunities for my husband there that will pay better than the low-paying job he will likely get here (at the university).  Since I have spent 10 years training to get to where I am, giving up what I do and love isnt really feasble.....

Do you HAVE to go?  Is it possible to find a different job?  I don't know what you do, but is it something that you feel you can give up?  It is a shame that this went and happened.  Hope it all works out.  Keep us posted.

im so sorry to hear that, where is the reassignment to?

My husband got here last week so he didnt have a job but it looked like there was a strong possibility of him getting one.  This will be the 7th time I have moved in 6 years and I really was hoping to settle down here..... not much I can do about it, but it certainly is frustrating/stressful.

Oh, I feel for you.   What bad timing.  It is so hard to leave a place where you've established roots.  My husband and I have moved so many times in the past 3 years.  We have always remained in So Calif. but moving sucks!  We are currently looking for a house, hopefully this will be the last time we move.  So does your husband have to look for another job too?
