You know how they say, "It ain't over till the fat lady sings?" Well, she sang! Yesterday afternoon Tom’s company laid off thirty percent of their employees and unfortunately Tom was one of them. I guess that’s not surprising since he’s a recruiter and they certainly won’t be hiring anyone for awhile!
Anyway, the present economy and this time of year are not the best circumstances to be job seeking in so Tom and I will be focusing all our energies on this situation in the next few months. I am also probably going to be looking for something part time so I don’t know what my situation will be in January-March. This uncertainty in our situation means that we won’t be able to do the play this year. I really can’t believe the timing of this all, it was totally out of the blue – don‘t companies realize that the show must go on! In this case, unfortunately we can’t manage it.
I guess it’s better not to start the play process at all than to get half way through and then have to stop. Tom and I also had the thought that we could possibly coordinate a talent show or revue in March for the Deerfield 4-6th grades. We’ve done that before for big groups of kids and it’s been really fun. So we’ll see.
We hope that this will just have to be a hiatus and we’ll be back next year! Tom Sawyer 2010!!! So just put those pantaloons, bluegrass music, and really big haystacks on hold for awhile!!!
And as for our play blog, I guess it will be the shortest blog in history!! But very dramatic, you must admit, very dramatic!
What will all of us do with our spare time now!!!
Thanks!
Tom and Rebecca
