My best friend - who worked at the same company was let go. He, his wife, and their three children were at risk of loosing their health care. Both my friend and his wife have pre-existing conditions that prevent them from getting insurance in the open market. His only hope was to get a full time non-contract job at a good company. Luckily he did - and just as his COBRA coverage was running out.<br /><br />I think most people don't realize just how close they are to loosing their health care - and once that's gone - you can quickly loose everything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505505821943010103.post-49218791797508992692010-03-25T01:13:19.820-04:002010-03-25T01:13:19.820-04:00I agree with your comments on health care reform. ...I agree with your comments on health care reform. This country doesn't have much cohesiveness lately, it seems to be everyone out for himself, which is no way to be.<br /><br />I am also sorry to hear that you didn't get the job.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03977500768335143957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4505505821943010103.post-38698707294284800412010-03-24T22:32:46.833-04:002010-03-24T22:32:46.833-04:00I can absolutely relate to the downtrodden feeling...I can absolutely relate to the downtrodden feeling with not getting the job. You get your hopes up, you begin to make plans and see what could be in you head, then you get the news that what you were seeing is not to be right now. It is devastating. <br /><br />I had the same thing happen 3 weeks ago. It seemed that everything was falling into place for this new job I wanted, plus I was looking at the prospect of living in a house on the lake. Then, BAM, out of nowhere I learn that the board chooses not to fill the position. All the hopes and plans I had went out the window. I didn't handle it as well as you did. Luckily I was alone on the interstate for several hours. I was able to get all of the anger out before I got home. Yes, my three hour trip turned into a 5 1/2 hour trip since I had to stop and walk off the anger. <br /><br />To make it worse, everyone I knew asked me what happened on Monday. I finally sent an email to all my friends explaining the situation and asked to not discuss it for a bit because of the feelings it brought on in me. <br /><br />But, now I take it as a sign that my work here is not finished. I am still needed here for some reason that will hopefully show itself sometime soon. <br /><br />Continue to look up and look forward. You will get the dreams you seek someday soon.<br /><br />Take care!Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17366650102322356603noreply@blogger.com
