A Good Day?

A Good Day?
I have made it through two rounds of layoffs at my work. I posted several months ago about my concern for getting a call from my district manager wanting to have lunch with me (I thought I was done). He gave me a bigger territory which has saved my life over the last several months. Today I got the info that many of my colleagues in the district, whom I have known for as much as ten years, have been laid off. I didn't think our shop could run with one less individual, but we lost one more today. It was all I could doto keep fromcrying...I had to excuse myself and go to the restroom. These are my friends, and now they are gone a month before Christmas.
The district mananger took me into the back office (again I thought I was done), and said he was going to make my territory even bigger, up my salary, and offered me a gaurantee for the next six months because he knows I will not make very much moneythrough winter in this current market. I was and am dumbfounded. I almost felt guilty about such good news.
There was other good financial news earlier today. My wife just put us into debt to the tune of four grand. She has always wanted a hot tub, and qualified for a two thousand dollar loan. She asked her boss to front the other two thousand dollars, and he agreed. I could not talk her out of it in any way, shape, or form. The idea of getting even less sex than I do now shut me up all quick like. I called him today because heneeded to rent some equipment from me. He said that heand his wife wantedto send us on a vacation to reward her for running his bar the last fourteen or so years, and he did not want to be paid back on his loan. I was renderedspeechless. I told him it was way too much for us to accept. He told me to shut up and not tell Athena because it is a surprise until Friday when they add a note to her paycheck.
I am not trying to brag or point my nose in the air. I just wanted to share an amazing day. I feel truly blessed and hope I live up to my good fortune in a time that is hindered by so much hardship.

Anyway congrats man!! Rewards like these just didn't fall from the sky; its the dedication, hard work and loyalty. But these wives just didn't understand that with more sex will make us to perform better in our daily life, don't they??
