Not weighing in thanks to pizza, ice-cream, coke and lollies lol.
Ok, so...
The job my husband wanted to go for will only accept already permanent employees. So there goes that! And then.. after that... His boss terminated his contract! He has until the end of January. This shits us both.
It wasn't a personal firing. Apparently the government is 5 million dollars over budget. There are ALOT of people working in various offices across Australia who are about to lose their jobs. Unfortunately, if you're temp or on a contract.. you're the first to go.
His boss was really cut up about it. When my husband got home last night, he showed me a letter she 'accidently' sent to the entire office. It was her sympathy for him and how great of a loss it was being that the work he does is outstanding ect ect. It then goes on to say that when she had told him, they both cried OMG, I wish I could have been there to comfort him.
According to my husband, he started crying when she said "I know how hard this must be given that you just got married". Awwwww... He said she didn't want to do it. She was reluctant to and took her time telling him.
We're going to get through this. I'll make sure of that!
This actually CAN be a good thing. This is a REALLY good oppotunity for him to use his degree and get back into science research. His boss did give him a print out of a job (and I guess I can say it on here) with immigration. The position is permanent. He applied for it last night. If he's unsuccessful in gaining work in these next couple of months, I'm going to have to bail out of the course I'm suppose to be doing. We won't be able to afford it. So yesterday, I applied for a government job as well. It's a long process...
And on another bright note.. This means we can look for work outside of Sydney. I hate it here lol
Anyway. I will keep updated about this and let you know how he goes with the immigration job.
Later xx
