Default Wife got laid off today

Really stinks because we are in the process of buying a house. Just had to get it off my chest. Thanks. At least we are going to see Paul McCartney in 2 weeks.

in all circumstances, we must give thanx to GOD....

a house is a blessing for a family and sometimes we dont understand why things happen but perhaps GOD has some better for you, your wife and family....be patient and wait on Him for His timing is always perfect....

GOD Bless Bro....Rob

What does your wife do? My wife is a CPA and hears of things through the CPA organizations. She might even know of a company hiring depending on what your wife's experience is.

Sorry to hear that. We've been slow here where I work too. Keep your spirits up. One door closes one bigger opens.

Kudos to her for having an interview with an employment agency the next day instead of with the unemployment office.

Man, I was just going to ask if she was an accountant. Had a client who is an accountant get laid off on Tuesday and he was supposed to close on a house with me today. Really felt terrible for the guy.

Anyway, best of luck to you and the family and hope she finds something quick.

My wife's firm doesn't use any bookkeepers, but she does deal with people and firms that do. She said she will ask around and pass anything along.

Thanks Leadfoot.

Damn the bad luck this week, haha. So she goes to accounttemp to update her profile, comes to see me for lunch. She is about 4 miles from home and has a blowout on her right rear tire. So I get there to change it. Guess what? Her spare is flat. So me thinking to myself I will use the spare from my car, I know it has air. I have a 94 Firebird v6 drum rear brakes, hers is a 98 Z28 with disc. My 16" spare doesn't fit. So I throw her spare in my car and head to an air station. Now I have no cash or change for a machine. Get 1/4 mile down the road and remember seeing an air copressor in her trunk. Lets just hope this thing works. The plug is all mangled up, aahhh ****. Got it to work anyway. Got her on her way to Discount to get 2 new rear tires. One under warranty the other prorated. Oh well, guess we are getting hit hard, but still moving forward. Thanks 03Sssnake for the quote.
