Today is bitter cold, foggy and overcast. The upstairs neighbors were arguing again, so I stepped away from the art table and took a walk to visit Eric at his job. I wonder if every house on this block only looks perfect from the outside but houses just as much dysfunction and drama.
Yesterday we went to the movie theater and saw "Freedom writers", another version of "Dangerous Minds" and "Stand and Deliver". It was simply updated for 2007. The main character was saint and perfect in every way. A simple flaw (like if she bit her nails or something) would have made her more easy to relate with. But it was a beautiful film regardless. You leave the theater wanting to go out and make a positive change in the world. But the question is: Where to start?
The great promotion and raise Eric was supposed to receive THIS month was postponed until March. A disappointment.
But on the brighter side, His work hours will be changed next week to 8-5. No more waking up at 2:30 A.M. A relief.
The question we have to ask is whether or not he should stay with this job and wait for the promotion...
or move on to a job that makes him more happy? Even if it means a salary cut.
I think it's time for me to resume job hunting. I'm sure there is a job out there that allows us to work together like we did in Europe. We just can't give up the search.
