No, I'm not dead
-
I understand that people have been wondering where I've been, as I took a three-week hiatus, which is not like me. I've had a lot going on in my personal life, and while I respect that this is a professional forum, I thought I'd share a little of that so people had an idea of why I've been gone.
First off, you can always tell when I'm not working a desk job because I disappear from online forums. I don't know why but there's some internal, mental correlation between me working a desk job and posting here or SW. About a month ago, I was no longer employed at my Cisco-shop job. The fault was entirely my own, but I wished they'd let me go to the second shift schedule like I'd asked. A 7AM start time five days a week, five days in a row, was too much for my body, combined with what else I had going on.
Currently, I have no official address. For religious differences, I am not welcomed by anyone (and I do mean ANYONE) in my family. In fact, they will have nothing to do with me. I have been crashing with a co-worker for about a month now. In that time, I've been in the hospital, almost lost my only job for doing nothing wrong, labeled "a threatening presence" by a manager trying to get me fired (who in the end got transferred), and I'm broke. I mean beyond broke.
I have a couple of possible jobs I have a good shot at but they are in FL. Right now, I'm just trying to figure out what my next move is but there are so many variables up in the air I just don't know. But I've been trying to get some things in order and just haven't been posting. Any happy thoughts you care to send my way are much appreciated. Thanks.

Im sure you will get through this quick and come up with some good news very soon. Good luck and keep us posted

Wow, sounds like a really tough time. Good luck.

Well, I'm glad you aren't dead.
I can see how maintaining an online presence has taken a back seat and wish you all the best.
Got any plans yet or are you still a bit shell shocked? -
