Diary of a Fired DJ - A Real Radio Unemployment Story

Days #98 - 1/20/98

I think I'm beginning to get a little moody and the one thing I'm trying to avoid is withdrawing from the family. My wife is real sensitive about stuff like that. I guess I just have a lot on my mind at this point. You know: the uncertainty. Will I be employed next week? Next month? What about the bills? What kind of pressure is my wife feeling? How about the kids? How are they starting to feel about things?

On the outside, everyone tries to maintain a cheery presence. But, I know that inside, my wife is starting to worry about the day-to-day stuff. We're not in trouble yet but, like most folks, we can't go on indefinitely on just her income. The kids need SO MUCH, the house payments, the car payments.

Yecch.
