Brian called last night and said that he had something that he needed to talk to Tom and I about. Well, when one of your kids calls and says that - you get this knot in your stomach and it won't go away. When he got here he ate most of the leftovers out of the fridge and then started telling us about his day. You see, he works for a telephone company in the internet department - and he is a union employee. He was told that they had to attend a meeting. In this meeting, they were told that the department he works in was being eliminated and 4 of the 7 people were losing their jobs - NOW. Brian is one of the lucky 3 that is still employed - right now. They have 3 jobs open for them to apply for if they want to stay employed. One is for a Network administrator, one is for computer repair, and one will move to installation in the telephone department. Brian is worried that he will end up with the telephone installation - which he really doesn't want. I am not sure what is going to happen. I know that we can't afford to support him and with the ecomony the way it is I am afraid that he won't be able to find another job before he goes under. We will see what happens.
