“Since I was laid off recently and don’t see much in the way of prospects for a good job, we will be notifying the house cleaner who my wife hired around 10 years ago that we won’t be needing her services. “
Maybe you should kindly tell her you don’t have any real hope for our economy now that Obama won, and you’re sorry, but you just can’t afford to hire her any more. Wish her well.
Perhaps knowing the reason she is losing this job will help her think more clearly next election.
I believe that is what my wife intends to say when she calls her tomorrow with the news. It would be the truth regardless of whether the lady was or was not an Obama supporter. My wife, who is usually not one to penny pinch, has decided she wants to reduce all non-essential costs.
“Perhaps knowing the reason she is losing this job will help her think...”
There’s your problem, right there.
