Job Update

First off, I have to start by saying that I do love my husband. My teasing him is out of love. That's what we do to each other, trust me he teases me worse then I tease him. So, just because I like to post his goofiness on my blog from time to time doesn't mean that we're not getting along. We actually have a terrific marriage. Don't get me wrong, we have our ups and downs and anyone who says they don't ever have downs in their marriages are lying. I just got wind that some people (who probably don't know us that well) were worried about us after reading my posts. I love my Kurt.
On that note, Kurt quit his job working for a t.v. station selling advertising for their website. It started out alright, they promoted him just after a couple months to manage the team, but he spent all his time managing and no time selling for himself, which lead him to quit being the manager and focus on his own sales. He then realized just how much he hated knocking doors for someone else's business and not spending his time building a business of his own. So he called me one day and asked if I had his support to quit the next day.
I told him to go for it, we had nothing to loose, this business just wasn't working out for him. He's an incredible salesman and manager, but he completely lost his drive and motivation to sell this product. He was having a really hard time getting himself to go to work everyday, and stay working everyday and not spending his time golfing, hanging out with his buddies, going to lunch...it just wasn't working.
The day after he quit his brother and him decided to start a roofing company. He's been roofing everyday since. It's not his first choice of work, but he's being active, which is great for him and his stress, and they want to get to the point where they have a crew working for them and they do the biding and find the work.
He's also still selling cars with his friend and making a little money that way. I hope we survive!!! It's been a crazy road since he quit the dealership over a year ago, but we've learned a ton and hopefully use our new knowledge wisely. It just stinks that the economy has to be so slow while we try to get a new business up and running. This may sound terrible, but my comfort in it all is that everyone is in the same boat as we are with the economy, and times are harder for lots of people right now. Hopefully things look up from this point on!!!
