A Young Wife’s Tale

1. Why doesn’t David take an entry level job while he looks for a mid-level developer position? Well, most entry level computer jobs require physical work, such as lifting heavy equipment or moving and installing computers. With David’s arthritis, he cannot do that sort of thing. Other jobs you might suggest that he can’t do: waiting tables, being a sales clerk or teller. He can’t be on his feet that long. So keep praying for David to find a job.

I’ve got bad news, and it’s not even health related. Yesterday I was chatting with the receptionist at my part time job about how thankful we are that David still has a job. He is a computer programmer, and he has worked as a contractor for a large company here in Dallas for two years. They got rid of most of their contractors last year. We are blessed that he is still employed, and that even though we have lousy health insurance, we’re grateful because some contracting companies don’t even offer it.
