Work update

I haven’t had much time to work on my blog this last week. My job has been very stressful in a lot of ways. First off, we’ve layed off 10 people (this won’t be the only cut-back in staff, and I’m worried about my job). Second, our paychecks this week may be delayed. It’s not definate, but there’s a good chance we’ll be paid late. Not good when you have bills on the way.
There’s more, but it’s a lot of little things. Overall, it’s a nice heaping bowl full o’ stress. I just hope I can get through this and keep my job. I don’t want to have to go out looking for a new one. 
Oh well… back to the ol’ grind, I hope all is well today.
So, I got my second review done here at work, and they like me enough to give me another raise! Whooo! Very nice to hear, this will definitely help Jess and I save up for things we need (and for the wedding we keep delaying).
Speaking of Jess, she’s not doing too hot. She hates her job right now… enough that she wishes she’d get fired. What set it off? Her boss had written something for her to print out (500+ copies), and after having the printer break down twice (both different issues that required a repairman to come out, and her to start over each time), it turned out that her boss had miswrote something, so Jess had to re-print it all. Jess never really liked the job, but it pays very well so she tolerates it for the most part, just about once every month or so, something like this happens and it just crushes her. It’s very sad. I really want to tell her she can quit, but if she can stick it out till December, we should have enough saved for me to feel comfortable with her quitting.
Anyway, I feel like a jerk since I’m the one essentially telling her to stay at a job she doesn’t like. Also, I can handle much more work related stress than she can… so trying to make her feel better isn’t quite working. I hate seeing her like this… she just kinda spaces out, sleeps a lot, doesn’t really eat, etc. Of course the entire time I feel like crap, because I see it as mainly my fault… I’m officially making more than I ever have in my life, and I don’t feel very happy at all. All I can hope is that she recovers and can make it till Dec, then everything should be golden.
