i am so blessed to have you as a friend in my life, Kevin.

almost exactly a year ago, you intervened and helped save my life.

you were there unconditionally.

i am sorry that you are hurting tonight.

Kevy -- /hugs

I think each time and each situation is tough. It sounds like you've got your feet in reality, but it hurts none-the-less. You have helped many people on so many levels, just know that everything does count, and counts every day. :)

I have a lot I would like to say, as I have had some experience in this area, but I'll keep it short and sweet. You are a great guy, KB, and great friend. I understand your anger, and your heartbreak as well.

((((((Big hug)))))

Kevy... *hugs* I'm thinking of you.

I'm very sorry for you situation KB. The mind is such a personal place, sometimes you just can't say or understand what is happening, no matter if it were a stranger or your best friend. People are suicidel for a reason and although we try, there's no way truly understand fully. Maybe it was just about peace, I don't know. I do know you would have been there for him had he needed you KB. Sometimes that has to be enough for everyone.

job status change
 

sooo... my mother told me that things never stay the same. there is constant change in life.

sometimes it is tough ...like losing my manager yesterday. a manager that i really loved, who was a positive role model and very supportive as i learned my new job.

sometimes it's kinda cool ...like when i found out who my new manager will be, one out of six that would have been my very first choice! and then, to my surprise, i was called into the v-p's office:

in what may have taken up to 5 years to achieve, i was offered a permanent full-time position. and considering my situation just 12 months ago, i am very pleased. (yes, i accepted)

Something must be in the air today

The super-secret reorg that everyone already knew about was finally announced today. Next month, I'll be part of the organization I came from 5 years ago, working with the same people. I like the folks I will be with, but I can't help but think I'm devolving returning to this org. So much is beyond my control, and yet I'm having a hard time letting go, even though I had a sense that this was where I was heading - at least for today anyway. I'm curious to see just how things end up - there are so many things both good and bad that could come from this. I'm hoping the good ones will win.

Sweet! Well done, ML.

Checking out LoT. My new family!

Yay MickeyLumbo!!! :snap: :snap: :snap:
