Prayer request

For those who care about me and my family enough to go to the Lord in prayer, please keep myself and wifey's job situations in your prayers. What was once thought to be a pretty solid job as far as job security goes has proven to not be so secure. Translation: my job situation at corporateville seems to be hanging on the whim of the managers. Basically like I mentioned before I was put on this oral probation as basically I was tested on whether or not I could work at the higher level (1.5 settlements done a week at 95% audit scores). Well the past four weeks I've been on probation I've worked my tail off, done what they've asked, and been as productive as one can be in my job. But it seems they still aren't super satisfied. I'm thinking that they put these goals on our plates thinking we wouldn't be able to hack it. The other two guys haven't been able to get the settlements done due to numerous problems that aren't their fault but are still being held responsible for. Me on the other hand I have gotten them done yet I'm still on probabtion and am starting to think that probabtion was meant to weed me out instead of test my skills.
      For instance I know I'm already better now, and before probabtion than some of my co-workers who aren't on probabtion. My theory is this is a ploy to cut costs by cutting off the bottom of the herd, the bottom three guys as far as seniority goes. Which sucks because I need this job and am doing a better job then some, another guy's wife just had a baby and needs the income. All three of us do our job well but because we don't sometimes have the skills as far as tangible results that can be input into a spread sheet we're basically getting the shaft. Or at least in my case I"m sort of getting tossed out with the bath water (me being the baby).
      So if you could pray for that I'd appreciate it. I sort of like my job, this sort of tactic makes me dislike it very much, but the job itself is fine and I like the pay and most of the people i work with. Plus right now Wifey and I are not prepared to be without my income. But we're keeping the faith and if its God's will that I leave corporateville than I'm cool with that and just hope He's got something better lined up for me.
      As far as wifey's concerned she had a job interview (2nd that is) for a job as an assistant principal at a preschool. Hopefully she'll get it and so keep that in your prayers as well as she is very tired of the waiting tables game.
      So things are a bit scary right now but we're trying to have hope, and trust in the Rock.
