If you could keep your fingers crossed for us, we'd appreciate it.
DH is a trucker. In the 11 years in which he has done this type of job, he has not had a work-related accident. Until Tuesday. And today. Yes, twice in one week. Company rules=2 accidents during your tenure with the company=fired, never mind TWO in two days. It doesn't matter that they weren't his fault, and there was only minor damage in each case. At the very least, if he's lucky=week off with no pay; possibly 2 weeks.
I don't know what we're going to do if he gets fired. Unemployment checks won't pay our mortgage. I do always keep a pantry full of food--about 2-3 months worth--for emergencies. I also worry about being able to care for our 8 cats properly (and we still have a large vet's bill for poor Willi, who died last month).
Thanks for "listening".
