The company told him he was going to be able to keep his job even though he didn't pass a test that he had to take, and that he could retake it in February. He's been fed up with their bullshit for a while now, and with the swing shift schedule. We're still waiting to hear about the other job he applied for that will have a dayshift schedule and about the same pay.
But in the mean time, he'll file for unemployment and try to find something permanent with a good schedule. He did security a while back and he really liked it. It just didn't pay enough. But now that we're debt free and *crosses fingers* still trying to move to be w/o a rent payment, he could go back to doing that (and go back to school).
It sucks, yeah, but I'm not super stressed about it. Some people (and it would have been us not too long ago) would be shitting bricks right now. I'm so glad we are not those people anymore.
