His ambitions are to be 1 of 32 people on the planet working in that position. He’s got problems I don’t want. He goes into it with reckless abandon and it hurts my heart. frick it though, that’s what it takes.

I’m 50…our weed wasn’t easy enough to hide nor good enough to risk our jobs for.

What industry. How long?

Currently racing against the clock to get certain certs so that if I get laid off I can find work quickly. Lay offs happen constantly in my industry.

Be VERY careful with your back!!!

I have a neurosurgeon consult coming up 11/4 for 4/5 fractured lumbar just from plugging in an electrical cord (one of those times the socket just didn’t want to accept the plug so I naturally pushed harder).

Take care of yourself. The company will not do it.


Gaston,
Put the past to rest, it’s over and done with, can’t be changed. Go into the new job content that you do not have lingering confidence in the ex employer is not finished tanking.

Closed on my last real estate sale, does that count?

I did buy a new 48 deg wedge to commemorate it.
