It's funny how much can change in a matter of weeks. I've been inactive for a long time which I apologize for to anyone wishing to see more from me. I was in a slump for a few months there. I never thought I'd be able to get a job in this market even with my tasty credentials. Turns out it wasn't me though in the end and I just scored an amazing job with benefits and perks out of this world with the Department of Defense. My inactive period might have been a good thing though, I feel like my new stuff is on a better scale than the old. I suppose I just want to say if you're feeling down or in a slump, there's always a silver lining. I should really know this by now. Looking back my life seems to be comprised of many things where if you told me they would happen initially, I'd think you were barking. The important thing is what you do with what you're given and if you wind up being overcome by all life's influences around you and settling for much less than you dreamed, at least go down swinging. My 180 came, so can yours.
