Keep it together, just keep it together.
Our first disaster of living here struck this morning - SDH got distracted while ironing his suit pants and scalded them - right down the front. On top of that he's not feeling well so it was all he could do to keep it together. Poor baby - I felt SO bad for him. We got him into another outfit and hustled him out the door.
Then Boss Man came into my office in anticipation of this morning's staff meeting to advise that he is leaving the mystery shopping practice and will be taking over one of the five new divisions. The punch is that it changes the landscape very quickly and can put me in the same spot that I found myself in at the last place when Stupid Head was hired. The strong upside is that I can work towards taking over from him which is exactly what I'd like to do. Those ramifications are extensive.
Back to SDH - I'm sending out EVERY POSITIVE and SUPPORTIVE thought that I can - I know that getting a job is really hanging over him. No magic wand here that I can wave to fix that, I can't even really get involved other than pick out new outfits when things go wrong.
