So.... We Have News... (and it ain't good)

As of this afternoon, we are officially homeless. John has been working at the restaurant for three weeks. Today, he was let go, no reason given.

I'm not in Gibsons at the moment. I'm in Abbotsford visiting family. John called me at about 5:30 p.m. with the news. To say it's a shock is an understatement. We have a home lined up; we were in the process of renting a truck to move the rest of our things down. Now, we're at loose ends. Neither of us now has a job. What comes next?

I'm not sure what will happen now. John will be packing up the trailer tomorrow and driving up to Abbotsford, either tomorrow or Saturday. From there, we will be sitting down and discussing our options. I'll try to stay in touch, but I really can't say when I'll be able to blog next.

Keep us in your thoughts... please.

    Wat zullen jullie je rot voelen.Zo onzeker hoe het nu allemaal zal gaan.
    Ik wens jullie veelkracht, wijsheid en warmte toe. Om goede besluiten te nemen en om weer tot rust te kunnen komen.
    In gedachten bij jullie...

  5. Since the restaurant knew he was in the process of completely redoing his life to work for them I think it's terrible that after 3 weeks they let him go and didn't have the guts to give a reason. Cowardly.

  6. I can't tell you how sorry I am of this latest development. You are definitely in my thoughts, and I do wish that things straighten out quickly and go well for you. Keep your chin up. It is a passing phase. Where one door closes, another opens. You just need to find it, but it's out there waiting for you. All the best wishes coming your way. :) Hugs.

  13. Whaaat? How bizarre is that? That's terrible. My heart goes out to you - making the move and then having it shoved back in your face. I'll be sure to boycott Molly's. I can't imagine what you're going through.

  15. That is immoral and downright unethical to let you go after shifting all that way for the job. I say this irrespective of whether any laws have been broken. All the best - look forward to hearing some news
