Careful what you ask for

You may just get it!
Had a great time in the Wisconsin Dells Tuesday and Wednesday, kids all got along great, adults all got along great, it was really an enjoyable trip. We did alot of things invery little time and the two families clicked really well. We're talking about making it an annual trip.
I should have known it couldn't last. I was home about 30 minutes when I got a call to turn on the T.V. and like a fool I did. Apparently, and it's now been confirmed, my biggest client, the Chicago Sun-Times has just signed a historic contract to let the Chicago Tribune distribute all of it's newspapers. Since I was pretty much a Sun-Times contracted delivery agency, I'm out of a job by year's end. Finit, kaput, el doneo, adios assholio, end of the line. I've seen the writing on the wall for quite some time, and nobody in my inner circle of friends and family believed me. I guess I showed them! I've been on an emotional roller coaster ever since, but the outpouring of support has been overwhelming so far, albeit mostly from my wife's side of the family. My brother-in-law even offered to take the train to work daily so we could use his car, should things get that bad. My brother offered to give me cash and his motorcycle in trade for mine, so I would still have a bike to ride. I guess he still wants a riding partner. It's a scary time, as I now realize that we fuck away alot of fucking money....tons. Obviously, that practice will be ending quite abruptly. We should end up all right, although this business is all I've known for 13 years. It's the longest job I've held and now there's no need for my services, even though I'm one of the very best at what I do and I made quite a comfortable living doing it. Who knows? I could end up at the Tribune, though I hope not. I think it may be a good time to reinvent myself. Maybe take some time off and collect a little unemployment, who knows? I think I may drink this weekend!
