The Red Brick Times

Okay. So I suppose in the spirit of disclosure of life's disappointments - I must share that I have decided to leave the big(ger) paycheck job I have held for the last 6 months and return to my old job serving the disadvantaged (poor, illegal immigrants, substance abusers, prosititutes, just plain messed up and confused) pregnant or newly delivered clients in beautiful Palm Beach County. Suffice it to say, I will prefer their company to the pseudo concerned corporate wannabes I had to put a suit on for. I am still counting all the lessons I learned.
But, most importantly - I am taking 2 weeks with my family to go sit on the Gulf Coast on a beach on Captiva. Marc and I - kids and their friends ranging from 17 to 25 in age and one silly golden retriever. and 4 cases of St. Pauli Girl.
Ralph, I will try to get to Doc Ford's with a mangled copy of Sanibel Flats. Who knows, I may get a signature for you.
I thought I was going with a laptop, but, alas, the old employer took that back. I will have to muddle through.
See you all later.

You took a lot less time to come to that conclusion than did I, and they had to fire me to wake me up. Giving up sucking-cess leads to satisfaction (I hope). Women seem to make these tough transitions better than do men. I feel better overall, but worry overmuch about my old(er) age health and finances. COBRA ran out in July and private health insurance is approaching $400 per month, plus a whopping out-of-pocket before they start to contribute. Fortunately, next month will be the last car payment, so some of it offsets.
