DH has a job. Thank God. Not only did he get a job, he got THREE job offers in two days. He got to pick and choose which he wanted, and THEN another department wanted him temporarily to help with a project that will keep him busy while he's waiting for all the background check crap to be handled.
Why is this a good day?

We moved a few months back... for many reasons, but the biggest is that my elderly parents needed a little help...so here we are. With them. Plus 5 cats and a dog. I am for now, at least, working from home, so I am here ALL the time...with my old folks and a VERY bored DH. Wink

My office has a loveseat opposite the desk/computers. Every day, I've had my dog, cat, and DH sitting there...behind me...watching me...DH talking to me... It's very difficult to accomplish things. I love DH, and I felt so bad that he's been so bored.
But now?
He's working!!! And he got to choose the job he wanted, and he's working NOW!!

On another note...SD called and left a message for DH to call her back. He spoke with her the other day and told her he couldn't attend the graduation, so I wonder what this is about... I sure hope she isn't calling to bitch him out!!

The day he accepted the job is the day he called SD to say he couldn't go...
Work is really the only reason he isn't going.
We figured he'd get the job he accepted; what we were unsure about was the immediate, temporary project they wanted help on.

Um ok but just as a heads up a life threating surgery trumps ALL other events incuding work. But sorry i dont buy that he thought he was goung to get the job and already choose not to go the graduation. I still think he should gi.

He didn't make the decision not to attend until AFTER he had the job offer. He did NOT, repeat: DID NOT, turn down the invitation until he had an actual, bonified job offer...written on paper and submitted. I think maybe you have the timeline mistaken?? Today is just the day he's actually GOING to work (actually, yesterday) ... the offer(s) came in previously.

Also, it would be very helpful if you checked your autocorrect. Half the time, I can't figure out what you're trying to say. :?

Ok i still think he should. I mean you made a huge stink about a dad that should miss his kids surgery for a recital so why cant your dh miss work for a graduation? A surgery is far more important than work or a recital but your dh cant miss work for his childs graduation? Makes no sense to me.
