Job Hunting: Not for the faint of heart

Things are getting rather tense around here. Monday marked one month with no job. We're both snapping at each other and the toddler. Even the baby is getting on her parents' nerves.

Making it especially difficult is that it looked like we had a job in the bag. Three weeks ago this job that the husband applied for a couple of months earlier called up. He was interviewed over the phone, twice. They told him he had the job; just fax them a few things about his last job.

And then, nothing. We haven't heard from them since. The husband can't call them to find out what's happening, either, because (long story and one I don't fully understand) the guy handling all this only has phones that call out, not in. (No, really, it is a real job.)

Deep breaths. In, out.

There are other jobs out there. I just need to remind the husband. He's very discouraged right now.

I am going to feel so much better when we finally have this settled.
