I am feeling an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude tonight. Mark has been working for his new company since June. We were so excited to get out of the real estate industry, and to get into a reliable career with a steady income. With the real estate market being what it is, the thought of stability was heavenly. Anyways, we were told several weeks ago that this company was going to go through a restructuring process. Meaning...1000 jobs were being eliminated. Yup, bring on the worry, stress, and fear of what could be coming our way.
Were we going to be transferred somewhere new, would he be one of the many to be "De-Selected",would us being so new be a factor, or would we just stay right where we are? So, today was the day we found out what direction his career would take. And I am so happy to report:
Mark officially still has a job, and we don't have to move!
I can't even begin to describe how relieved I am about this. The changes that Mark has to make are extremely minimal.
He is in Pharmaceutical Sales, and he represents three drugs. He is only changing one of his drugs, and his territory is being realigned...in a good way. All of this means...way less overnight travel and a short training period for his new drug. Hooray.
While I am so happy and relieved, my heart goes out to the so many people who weren't as fortunate as we were. Things could have easily been so different for us.
I was so grateful when Mark got this job in the first place. It was a huge blessing. I feel that way again. Now, more than ever.

WOOP WOOP! Way to go Mark! What a blessing has come your way - I bet it helps that Mark is stinkin' awesome at his job. Seriously...who, in their right mind, would want to let a guy like Mark go? Yay for less travel (If only we all could be so lucky)! Here's to you, drug man, if it weren't for drugs I would be more sick and have more children!
