In between efforts to get my things (physical and virtual) from my former office, trying to get my mood back on an even keel, getting (and keeping) the new webserver running, gearing up for the job hunt and so forth, I simply haven’t had energy or willpower enough to write about what’s happened.
Maybe that’s for the best. Anything I’d have written in the last couple of weeks would’ve come across as dreadfully maudlin.
My goals as of now are simple, yet daunting: To find a job that pays comparably to the last one. (No choice, there. Child support + rent + other bills + eating = serious money.) To avoid slipping into a major depression. (If I fail this goal, I fail the other. It’s that simple.) I keep telling myself “I can do this,” and sometimes I even believe it.
I’m not really built for serious life challenges, you know? But I can either mourn the life I had or get the hell on with finding out what the future holds. Again, it’s that simple. And when you get right down to it, I’m a simple kind of guy.
Going to the office yesterday to get the last of my computer files, though, damned near broke me. Dammit.

I wish I could do more to help. (Or, alternately, drop napalm on your former employer. *evil grin*)
I have faith in you. Remember, everything will be okay in the end — and if it’s not okay, it’s not the end!
LOL…she does have a good point.
Ditto I just got a new job. So you can do it too. Actually interviewed for this job back in October and they called last Monday. Strange things can happen.
Your Dad has an acquaintance in NY that owes him a favor from way back when. Someone with an Italian surname. Don’t know about napalm but…
Mike’s moved (is moving) twice this year so far. We do the big stuff from his 2nd move this coming weekend. Please give him a call. He would love to hear from you.
Even I have a job interview this next Friday. Imagine that!
You have a wonderful personality, great work ethic and skills. Someone will be very lucky to hire you for an employee.
Give me a call & I might have some ideas about lessening your financial burden through some of my work resources.
