I'm alive ... and kickin'

Hey everyone,

First off, I want to say 'thanks' to everyone that offered words of encouragement. Believe it or not, reading that from you guys did help a great deal. On top of that the support from great friends and family ... made the rough times I was going through seem less rough.

But like the title says ... I'm still alive ... and kickin' like the horses found in the VQ engine.

Certain things have changed for the better ... I've secured myself a job with IBM. I'm now a "Territory Sales Representitive" with IBM.com, handling accounts in California.

So financially I have hope! haha Looks like I won't have to sell the "G".

Everything else, I'm hopin will fall into place.

Thanks again guys!

Oh yeah ... I'm really looking forward to a meet!

-E

That's great news. Congratulations on your new job!!

When things are down, the only way they can go is up!! Don't worry, one thing at a time and everything will get back to normal.

Empz I am at 3600 but Moatfeild is not moving till October that is when the leaase is up plus it will be at 3500 not 3600. I know a few people working there now and I will be coming down next Tuesday for my interview. Hope you guys got the link for the live coverage at IBM. Someone at the lab is sening live cbc feed.

Anyways there are lots of sedans at 3600, a few coupe and I know one is a 2006. I think I am the only one with the black 2005 coupe at the building. I know one other black coupe and he is on the baseball team thinks he plays for the genrals. Anyways can't wait till baseball season starts again give me a shout if you want to try out for the team. Our team is the shooters, lots of fun and you get to mingle with fellow ibmers kind of a way to network.
