I wrote on Thursday that my wife was getting pinkslipped. Well they had to tell her if she was by close of business on Friday, and she didn’t hear anything. So we are assuming we are in the clear.
It doesn’t come as much of a surprise. My wife teaches and is shared by two schools. If you let her go and don’t hire anyone else, is another teacher going to teach 3 or 4 schools? I doubt it.
So! Stressful as it was, we’re hoping this has passed. Hopefully the state will pass the education budget as soon as possible so all of the Alabama teachers that were laid off will be rehired immediately.
I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day. We’ll be back to regularly scheduled programming tomorrow.

Phew!! Glad to hear everything is going to work out.
Good news.
Woo-hoo! Other personal finance blogs have suggested imagining what would really happen if you got pink-slipped. You *lived* it. There’s gotta be a silver lining in that somewhere…
