2015 was my FML...........months?
In a span of 3 months, the ex-wife asked for a divorce (I purposefully let her keep the house more on that in a sec, I did make her buy me out of some of the equity and renovations we had done the year before), moving out meant I had to give up my new puppy since most places won't rent to someone with a pit bull.........except in neighborhoods I was absolutely not going to live.
1 week after the divorce was finalized, I was caught up in a layoff at work with about 25 other sales/engineering/admin people. Got a contract job and then was laid off from that after 5 months, after them telling it was funded for 18 months.
So to recap, in a span of 9 months lost my wife, dog, house, and two jobs, and ended up moving in with my best friend and college roommate so we could both save money as he got divorced the year before me.
Then, I got a good gig, if a bit underpaid (but when you're desperate and unemployment doesn't even replace 40% of your salary, you take what you) at Ramsey Winch. Then finally landed the gig at Oracle | NetSuite about 18 months from the ex asking for the divorce.
