Welcome to the Jungle

I interviewed with Prime Inc. yesterday as I continue to get my life put back together. The interview went well and I am thinking I'll get an offer. We will have to cover the whole "F" thing, so that will be an adventure.

If they don't hire me, the grocery warehouse is hiring and the money is great.

Onward and upward right?

It's Been Awhile...

No, not the song by Staind either. That song itself would deserve several posts just on what it means to me.

Today's the day I officially try to rejoin society after a LONG detour Maybe I'll share some of the details of the last 3 years here and maybe I won't. It is generally painful, sometimescrushingly so, but for better or worse it's now part of who I am.

Having said that let me be clear...my recent past is not "WHO I AM" but rather a time where I faced several  challenges and have learned some important things about myself, and those around me. This period of my life is to be learned from and not simply dwelled on.

I am stronger yet more humble. I am more driven yet thankful for all that I have. Above all I am eternally grateful for the small slice of humanity that stood with me during "the troubles". FYI I stole that term from the British. Those of you to which I'm referring know who you are. Suffice it to say that I can never repay your loyalty or ever, ever thank you enough.

Today I have my first job interview in a very long time. Everyone cross your fingers. I'm moving forward. It won't be easy at times but I will not be deterred!

Stay tuned for life's next happenings in my little corner of the universe. I'll leave you with a little quote I picked up in my travels.
