Seriously There is a Black Cloud Over My Head!!!

Hollowvic · August 2014

So I come to find out today a week after we officially decided to pay OOP for IVF that I will most likely be getting laid off very shortly. I work for a Catholic school so I can't even collect unemployment. I will most likely lose my insurance as well. It's like I have a black cloud over my head I swear. Of all times for this to happen. I already started sending my resume out but still. As if I wasn't stressed enough. I know this isn't technically 3T related but I really needed to vent.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine how stressful this must be. I wish you the best of luck with your job hunt. Can you get on your DH's insurance?

I am so sorry....and this early in the school year? That's terrible. I hope you're able to find something soon.

I can go on my husbands insurance but it's $400 a month for just me. The school year hasn't started for us yet. The school isn't doing well at all but I didn't expect this right now.

$400 a month for just you! Wow, I'm so sorry. I second @IPutKetchupOnKetchup. I'd also skip the glass and grab the bottle.

I am so so sorry! Eff the bottle...I hear they sell that shit in jugs. I'll have you in my thoughts while you look for a new job.

So sad to hear this! I hope a good alternative comes up soon!!!

I'm sorry! Can you appeal about unemployment benefits?

theholmanherd · August 2014

Maybe I'm just an uninformed idiot, but why can't you collect unemployment? WTF? I'm so sorry, hollow

I'm sorry to hear this

I hope an awesome job comes out of this crappy situation.

BlueJell0 · August 2014

Yikes, I'm so sorry! I hope you can find something soon.

Hollowvic · August 2014

Thanks, again I know this isn't 3T related but I knew I could vent here. @theholmanherd‌ I work for a Catholic school, we don't pay into state unemployment because we work for the Diocese, they have their own set of rules. I've already been job searching as they've been talking about laying a bunch of employees off for a while. Private schools are suffering right now but I thought I'd at least get through the fall. Me and 3 others are getting laid off. It just couldn't come at a worse time. So now I'm frantically job searching on top of preparing for IVF. Then I call my mother (mistake), thinking she'd offer some support, and her advice was to put off IVF. Thanks mom, that's exactly what I want to do at almost 39 years old. Seriously if I have to go work at Walmart I will. Wine isn't going to cut it tonight, I need Whiskey!!!

I'm so sorry. I'd start drinking now too.

theholmanherd · August 2014

oh that's awful. I'm so sorry

And your mom is clearly not helping.

BunnyBerry · August 2014

I'm so sorry, what a blow!

Don't worry, of course it belongs here on 3T. It's another rough road on your journey.

Are you certified? Or is your search limited to private schools? Do you think any families from your school are looking for tutors? Do you have a master's, and maybe could apply to adjunct at a community college or local college?

Sorry, but one of my biggest fears is not having a teaching job, so I am constantly looking at other options just in case!

Sorry about your mom too. I may have said, "If you want me ever to give you a grandkid, you'll offer to help pay for this IVF, otherwise leave me alone!"

Hollowvic · August 2014

@BunnyBerry‌ I don't have my Masters, wish I did. I don't teach, I was an Administrative Assistant in the Finance Office. I honestly thought my mom would offer to help financially, but all she said was that we should qualify for a loan. Just pisses me off bc she had no problem helping my sister out 5 years ago when she got breast implants!!! Gotta love it.

Hollowvic · August 2014

I live in NJ. I sent a bunch of resumes out already this afternoon. @murrt‌ you know maybe this is a blessing in disguise, my boss was a beast, I was doing the job of 2 people, my insurance sucked. I did find out I'll be able to keep my insurance through September, so at least that's a positive.

BunnyBerry · August 2014

Seriously, implants but no implantation? So unfair! I'd probably ask her to explain that to me.

I guess it might be easier to job hunt as an administrative assistant, since there are so many types of businesses that could benefit from your experience? I wish you the best, it is not cool to be job hunting while dealing with TTTC!!

tweetyknicks · August 2014

Major suck. I'm glad you at least get insurance through September. That gives you a *little* breathing room, at least. Best of luck finding a new, better job!

Hollowvic · August 2014

@AlaskaDee23‌ I did get a good laugh out of it. Now my H said if we don't get approved for financing we have to put the IVF off for a month, that's exactly what I don't want to do.

lebradford · August 2014

Wow. What shitty timing. I'm so sorry. I hope you can find a new and better job soon.

As far as insurance, you might want to check out the healthcare exchange. That's where we get our insurance and it's cheaper than through my husband's job, even considering the difference in taxable income.

I wanted to say too that I don't blame you on wanting to move forward with IVF anyway. I would do the same thing.

ky29 · August 2014

So sorry that you have to deal with this. ((Hugs))

DharmaChick · August 2014

Ugh, that stinks! Sending good vibes your way. I hope that you find something new (and better!) soon.
