Good News; Bad News

The good news is that I don't have to go to work each day; the bad news is that I lost my job.

The good news is that I was ready to move on to another job; the bad news is that I wasn't ready to be fired.

The good news is that I can now be friends with my former boss; the bad news is that an innocent (and appropriate) request from her is the offical reason I was canned.

The good news is that I now have some time to clean and organize the house; the bad news is that it's "too late" for The Artist and he's "lost all artistic intent" and swears that now he'll be just as lazy and disorganized as I am.

The good news is that my anti-depressants are working; the bad news is that The Artist is not also taking them.

Shoot. That sucks, girl. And, as you point out, there are some good points. I guess it's all a matter of what out-weighs what. When someone tells me "everything happens for a reason" I always think that's a crock. I'm sure it does, but that doesn't make the situation any less problematic.You, however, are an amazing woman of great fortitude and intelligence (among other qualities) and I know you'll find a way to make some pretty decent lemonade out of this, you always do.

Good luck on the job search. I'm sure you'll make margaritas out of these lemons you were served. Any chance the Artist will get a job and let you stay home and work on your art for a few years?
