My husband the book

Tweet

Yeah. My husband should write himself up as a Reader's Digest special. Maybe he'd make enough money to pay off the house that we're renting out right now! My dearest partner happens to have no eye sight. Nada. He also is a very capable person and a total love. He worked hard and first got an engineering degree at a university. He is a scientist at heart. Then he spent about twenty years attempting to get others to believe that he was and is a capable person. He did not demand a truck driving job. He did insist that he deserved pay equal to others in his class. Finally he went back to another university and worked hard and earned a Master's degree in adult education plus he spent two years interning as an unpaid counselor. All that and looking again to try to get his family above the poverty line, he went to the Lighthouse for the Blind cause they said they were hiring. He said he'd gladly supervise folks in exchange for a pay check. The Lighthouse said NO. Supervisor jobs are for the sighted. You belong in the conveyer belt line, putting things together. Hubby said some unflattering things back. He discovered that there was a state registry for jobs. He filled out applications and more applications. One man finally told him that he would not hire him and why?? Cause hubby did NOT have a driver's license. Hubby went to the governor and told that office what was up. Right after that hubby got a call. To an area we really did not want to live in but hey, a job call is indeed a job call. So here we are. Nineteen years later. Three houses later- we really did go up in the world. (Hubby should have also gotten a degree in Economics. He knows how to make a mortgage go away.) Nineteen years at wearing a social worker hat. He started thinking he would work in the aeronautics field. Hah. One never knows.
