I don't know how many of you really understand how hard last year was for me. I wasn't sure if my brain was up to doing my electronics work again after leaving my former company in 2015. I actually thought I would have to go on disability for awhile and was in the process of fighting my way through that mess. (denied, denied, and it was pending a review that wasn't going to be heard until August of this year at the earliest).

I have this small problem with the fact that I really like having a bed to sleep in and a roof over my head. My energy levels weren't up to running the photography business and the jewelry business and all the networking and running around that those entailed. I was overwhelmed and seriously at my breaking point several times during this.

On October 10th I was going to be driving across country to stay with a friend while I figured out what I was going to do.  I had no money - a vehicle that needed a bit of help and absolutely no idea how I was going to survive until August.

 

On  I was offered a position with a company that allows for some travel and relocation as I desire. It seemed absolutely perfect - they wanted me to start immediately or sooner. I was set to start October 18th well the day before the position started I was told there was problems with the job requisition. It was on hold and they would keep me in the loop. So now I'm waiting I can't really keep job hunting because I accepted this offer (yay I actually had health benefits because they put me on the payroll already but I had no paycheck yet).

It's November and I'm still waiting - tentatively scheduled to start the week after Thanksgiving. More delays. Now it's December I'm stressing (which isn't good for the old MS) and just at the point I'm getting ready to think the new job won't take effect until 2017 I get an actual start date (and start).
