Flutter

Don has wondered for years how much longer his former employer could remain solvent with a business plan made up of continually cutting costs without increasing revenues. He finished up his last day with his employer of ten years last Friday. Sure enough, according to news headlines the Mother Ship filed for bankruptcy today. (Talk about timing!) While that does not necessarily have an immediate impact on the employees, it means morale likely dropped to new lows. Perhaps she will emerge in the wake of the filing with a fresh infusion of buoyancy, but the horizon looks bleak for now.
On the home front, New Job began on Monday, and we are trying to find a sense of how our routines need to adjust. Not just tweaking the schedule, but a general reorganization is in the works around here. This week is something of a trial run with odd extras thrown in like waiting for the Fed Ex deliveries of the assorted tools for the mister's home office, orientation, and devising a schedule that allows for both 2nd Job and New Job to each have the attention needed.
In the midst of all of this adjustment, I am trying to determine the butterfly effect on the rest of the household. For the moment all I can do is wait, adjust daily in small increments, and seek the smoothest possible transition for the household. The path of least disruption is generally the key to keeping the Boy from going into a spin.
