25 things

Matt has had a rough go of it at work for a long time.  His supervisor doesn't like him.  The truckers don't like him.  They don't like him, because he is pretty much one of the only ones that does his job right.  Matt is a very hard worker.  He does things by the book, and is very thorough.  Matt's supervisor really upsets me.  She has been giving her personal cell phone number to all of the truckers telling them to call her if there are any problems with her officers.  Matt and the other security officers don't wear name badges so they won't get harassed by the truckers.  All of the truckers know Matt's name because of his supervisor Helen.  Helen has written Matt up recently for writing things down in his DAR that aren't important.  They are important and Matt could be fired if he doesn't write them down.
 
This last week Matt was doing security at a different site in Draper.  It was considered a special site because it's a site that never has security   An employee was being fired so they were just taking precautions.  The employee was fired and didn't give any trouble.  Matt had a peaceful week.  Then Thursday night Matt got an email from his boss asking if he could meet with him on Monday.  He also said that the special site he was at was very happy with his work, and to keep it up.  Matt replied telling him thanks, and that he could meet at 2 on Monday.

Friday his boss emails him back and says Sounds great.  Also, I got you covered at Costco for tonight and tomorrow night so I guess you can just enjoy your weekend.  Thank you for your great work on the special.  Matt wasn't supposed to work Friday night at his regular site.  He was supposed to work Saturday night like he always does.  He realized that if he wasn't working Saturday that he would only be getting 32 hrs..  Matt text his boss, and his boss said that he couldn't talk about it over the phone that it had to be in person.  Then his boss sends him a text saying that one of the truck drivers filed a complaint against Matt.  This was the second one, and Matt was upset.

Matt was trying to think positive and I was too.  He went in today to talk to his boss.  close to the time that Matt was meeting with his boss i happened to go downstairs.  I didn't hear my phone ring, but felt like I should check it.  I had missed a call, and had a voice mail from Matt waiting for me.  I felt that it wasn't going to be a message that I didn't want to hear.  I dialed it anyone, and then Matt called while I was doing that.  I beeped over to him.  He told me that he was no longer employed with Guardsmark.

My stomach sunk.  He told me that his boss told him that because he had already received a second chance that he had to be removed from the site.  The only thing that Matt's boss could do was to have Matt be a rover/filler.  He would maybe get 20 hours a week. with no set pay.  Each site is different.  Matt told his boss that he couldn't support his family on that kind of work.  His boss said that he couldn't do anything else.  Matt stood up and felt that he should quit, and so he did. His boss was sorry to see Matt go.  He had told Matt that he was one of his best workers.  He also said that Helen Matt's supervisor was the most uptight woman he has ever met.  I wish that Matt had said more to his boss about the things Helen does.  Matt's not like that, and it's probably a good thing that he didn't get into it more.

I didn't yell at Matt, or make him feel bad.  I was calm.  He told me he was on his way home to get all of his uniforms to take back to his boss.  I decided to do my workout after I hung up with him.  I had a good cry while I was doing it.  Matt came home while I was working out.  He really didn't say much to me.  He gathered his stuff angrily.  He didn't leave happy.  I was worried about him.  After I got ready I sent him a text telling him that I loved him no matter what.  It felt good to say that.

I went to my crossing early and text my friend Allison.  She is the one who does energy work.  I asked her how my energy was vibrating.  She replied back asking if I was feeling okay today.  I told her that I was feeling fine up until I heard from Matt.  I told her what happened, and that I was scared.  She told me that I was vibrating at a 9.  That is very good.  She said to take some deep breaths.  She said that we were going to come through this just fine.  She said fear is a conscious choice, so is faith so pull out your gratitude journal and write 25 things I'm grateful for it would help keep me vibrating high.

Allison also checked to see what Matt was vibrating at.  He was vibrating at a 5.  She gave him the vibration of balance and got him vibrating at a 10.  She told me that he didn't need anything else energetically right now, but by me staying calm and optimistic would help a ton.  She said to let him know that I believed in him and his ability to take care of  his family.  I had already planned on telling him that when I saw him.  She told me to keep deep breathing as well.  I was already doing that.  When I got home and was talking to Matt I told him that I believed in him, and his ability to take care of his family.  He sucked that in.  I know that he liked that I said that.  I told him that I was handling this better than I thought I would.  He agreed.  He thought that I was going to be a huge mess.  All of the affirmations that I have been saying have helped me.  I'm thinking more positive.  It's great!

We are going to be fine.  I know it!  Matt quitting is the best thing.  A door opened he took it.  We will be led to where we are supposed to be.  I know that my angels, and Matt's angels, are orchestrating all the details for Matt's job.  We just have to act, and it will happen.  We need to listen to the spirit, and our intuition.  This is the best thing for our family.  I am going to finish this post with my 25 things I'm grateful for today.  In no particular order here it is:
