Economic Scare

This morning as I was driving to work, Jason calls and says that there was an announcement at work that the company was going to lay off over a 100 people from Jason's firm world wide. Meaning they were looking to lay off 8-10 people from each office. So Jason was scared since he only started with the firm 6 months ago. I was scared with him because I know that the economy is going down hill and that we were fortunate to even have jobs. So people at work were asking what was wrong and I told them because I was in a real panic. That is just my normal reaction. So I call him to ask when are they going to let people know that they were getting laid off. He says, "Oh I found out that I am safe and i don't have to worry about anything." I was relieved that it was good news but a little upset that he didn't tell me right away about the good news.

That is the thing with Jason he is quick to tell me bad news and very slow at telling me the good news. I could have stopped stressing hours earlier. I do have to look on the brighter side. He still has a job. So with that being said I think it took this little incident to make me appreciate what we have more. Like I said yesterday I do appreciate what I have but after today I appreciate it even more.
