Ryoga Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Yes, I know that many of you probably think I dropped off the planet, but I'm still alive and kicking. In a nutshell in the months I've not posted my wife ran out on me (details not to be given publically), my job was terminated, and the bank has already claimed 2 of my 3 cars. I'm now at a point that I've got to get back into some work fast. I've got 8 years as a Specialiast Syst Eng/Admin (Used to be called a software specialist III prior to new naming structures). When I left nationwide I was making 72k/yr so that is the ballpark I am looking for to keep my quality of life (which is quickly falling away).

Amy Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Really sorry to hear bout everything that has happened to you. I wish you the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoga Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Thanks you two. Things are starting to come full circle now and there are some very happy things developing in my life now (new relationship developng). It was very hard for me through the holidays alone and jobless, but I survived smile.gif For a while there I shut out all my family and friends and just rotted away in the house. I'm glad that that part of my life is over and that the divorce is now done. I don't regret the time and past we had together, but that's it. The things that were done can never be changed and hurt me too deeply to ever wish I could go back. I'm finaly able to stand on my own feet again and am starting to get back into the social circles (as you can see I've found my way back home here, hehe). So now the only thing really missing is income, something I hope to resolve very soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PonyPimpstress1647545491 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Paul, you may want to try out with the banks. When I worked for National City they were always looking for tech help. Not sure that the money will be what you are used to or not. Good luck with the job search and the new relationship! ~Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the job search and the new relationship! ~Jenn I hadn't checked with National City, I know that JP Morgan Chase/Bank One had a few openings, but they are slow to respond to many of them from my experience. My step father is pretty deep in that company on the IT side so I'm working that angle for sure. I'll give National City a look over to see what they may have. Like I said earlier, I'm to the point that I may have to take a small step backwards in order to get back on my two feet to stand. Thanks Jenn!

If someone will hire me and put cash in my bank I still have a chance to snatch them back. I'm going to go insane without a nice fair weather sports car to work on and drive around. Of course, maybe this is my chance to get out of the higher dollar cars and pick up an old classic later that needs a little love Originally posted by Shitaro: Dang paul, get out and drink with us mang! You stood us up a few weekends ago. Hehe, I'm not into your game nights-you guys are playing the games I have very little love for. tongue.gif Remember, I'm a fantasy online gamer-not a wartime first person shooter hehe. I told John that I had things going on that weekend anyhow. I have some friends from connecticut and thier staying with me until they found a job (promised to help them out before things got as bad as they were). She just got a job with with Honda so they will probably be leaving soon into a new house closer to the place she'll be working and her hubby will be going to school. So my weekends are becoming more open. John mentioned there might be a slight chance at a superbowl gathering, but never heard anything else on the subject so I guess that fell apart, smile.gif . I've been telling him we need to get together at BDubs sometime on 1/2 price wing night and let me fill you guys in on the WHOLE story with my marriage and job and everything else.
