Job Security

Job security... hmm... what's that? The Big One and I, between us, we were fired from work once and retrenched 3 times! What's more, neither of us are even 40 yet. With our multiple retrenchment packages, we can easily explain why we may seem to be better off than some of our more permanently employed friends. ***Hahahaa! Take that with a pint (no spelling error intended) of salt please.

Anyway, don't ever try to make us believe that there is such a thing as job security. We'd just laugh at you in your face.

But having no job (security) isn't a bad thing really, and on hindsight, I'd really glad it happened to us while we are still 'young' because it made me realized some really good truths:

One. That our marriage wasn't built on money and so when we had none, we still had our marriage.

Two. That we weren't born worriers of money, nor are rainy-day specialists so these episodes of insecurity forced us to plan further ahead.

Three. That regardless of what you do, you shouldn't peg your self-worth to it. Afterall, no matter how big the bag of nuts they provide, you're still a monkey in their zoo.

There.
