I just read that the company The Man works for is letting go 30 000 people. That's like, the entire population of Andorra! (Or one of those other minuscule make-believe countries nobody can place on the map) I wonder if he's safe...? I wonder if he's finalized the details concerning the next deal and the next relocation...? I wonder how he's feeling about it all...?
And I wonder why, after such a long time of hating his work and how he doesn't have any difficulties committing to something that so obviously drains him I even care. Perhaps because I care about him. And know how much his work means to him.
I've even tried to explain my feelings in a way that he'd understand. Would he be ready to move halfway across the world for a job that might eventually be offered to him? Would he, year after year, agree to work on a temporary contract; on part-time basis, not being able to plan ahead? Would he, after having given so much for the company, be happy having no job security, no pension plan?
And even he agreed "no". I'm getting so tired of this recession- both in the world and in my love life.
