Some good luck wishes for my wife, please. Possible job offer.
Short story:
My wife quit her job 4 years ago to be a stay-at-home Mom for our 2 kids. All was well until I was laid off from my career in February. My wife took a retail job working nights so that we could make ends meet. I hate it but we need the benefits. Her former company has asked her to return to her job in HR but this time as manager of the dept. This has all gone down in the last 48 hours so we are kind of stunned still but this is the perfect job for her. While it's not what we had planned(we will need to use daycare services as well as the extra cost of fuel, lunches, etc.), we doubt the opportunity will present itself again. I don't ask for much from my Pelican family but we could use some good thoughts and good luck wishes for this to come through for her. We really would appreciate it. Thank you.

Good luck to you, wife and family! Sounds like she was very well respected by her former employer and I am sure she will do well.
Take Care.

Good luck. I hope she gets it and it turns out well.
Thank goodness this wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I was afraid there were some medical problems or something. Whew!

You got it Wayne-o! Maybe she will meet you at home for a 'Happy Meal' sometime?

I am sure if they pinged her, things will work out!
Time to become a stay home dad! Soon they'll be in school and you'll have the morning off to hang out in the gym to get in shape and hang out with a bunch of trim moms.  George |

Nice to hear some good news around here (or anywhere for that matter) for a change. I wish you the best. I can absolutely relate. Getting a job offer these days goes a long, LONG way to lifting the "weight of the world" off one's shoulders. Believe me, I know. It's nice to feel like you have purpose again. Sincerely best of luck to her and you all.
