[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 372994, member: 1233"] He does need a job like yesterday. But no one wants to hire a 50 year old white guy. Every place he goes to sends him off to fill out an application online. I am going to try to get him to find a headhunter to help him find a job. He is very well qualified and becoming very well depressed also. Thankfully the university is gearing up so there will be some temp jobs and he may be able to teach a class or two and MAYBE the univ will actually start filling some of the jobs that he has applied for. I do get frustrated when he won't try to seek out the people who are actually hiring for the univ jobs. He makes an AWESOME impression and at the univ it is one of the requirements for being hired. It is hard for all of us. Janet, I totally know how you feel. NO ONE would pick to be in my position, especially not me! Whatever it is that is going on, my health is worse than it has ever been, with the medications barely able to keep me from screaming sometimes. I don't talk about it with husband or the kids because they have no way to understand an each of them would end up freaking out. Soooo not what I need right now. I am PROUD to say that he did eventually get the freezer defrosted. He worked on it the second night until 1 am. Jess and I turned it back on and put the food back in so it would stay cold (it cools itself in about a half an hour). He waited until 5 the next day to start again, but he did get it finished. I wasn't up to putting the food in so he had to. He really whined about that, but I ignored him. At least it got done!!! Now I have to start on him about the lawn. I really hate parenting a 50+ year old man. He could be a grandpa for crying out loud!! [/QUOTE]
