DS graduated from technical college and has been looking for a job without much success. He was going to go to the college this week and see what resources they have available to help him, job leads, resume review etc. Well, Monday he was injured at work and is now in a leg brace for 6 weeks. He cannot work for the next two for sure and they will see after that.
Needless to say he is kind of upset about the timing of this. He does not feel he can be actively looking for a job knowing he will start off with restrictions. Also,since the job happened at work he is dealing with the whole worker's comp thing. So far his employer has been very good about everything and have said they will work with him on any restrictions.
If he gets a call he would still interview but we thought it best not to be putting to many applications out there at this time unless it was an ideal job he would not want to miss out on.
Not really sure what, if anything I am looking for, just wanting to get this off my chest. I feel so bad for him to be so laid up. He cannot bend his leg at all. He even needs to sleep with the brace on.
Here is a funny though, DS work asked if he could stop in yesterday to finish filling out some paperwork. DS said he would after he sees the orthopedist. So we go to his work, DS goes in by himself to do the paperwork and I wait. He comes out and tells me what they filled out and what he needs to do next. He then says, "Oh, I also got a raise."
I asked if he was due for a raise and he thought he was. The timing was just kind of odd to us.
