- worstever (Microsoft): When my husband laid off last year, he was slowly losing his mind in the whirlwind of interviews and rejections. We actually started doing a thing we called “Small Town Saturdays” where we would go to a new small town we hadn’t been to before, grab breakfast at a local diner, and then roam whatever thrift stores, antique stores, and book stores we could find. Basically, we found that getting him out of the house and routine of constant interviews and rejections for at least 1 day a week was KEY. But he also opened up more about what he was feeling during those trips, which helped us connect better emotionally.
