On a more positive note:yesterday was my first interview since I moved up to Chicago, today was the second round interview and immediately after I was offered a third and final round interview I should hear back today or tomorrow whether I got the position or not. It would be a major step up in my life and would give me financial security and stability for the foreseeable future with significant opportunity for growth and development within the company. I really, really hope I get this job.
Hell yeah. That just made my day. Sending good vibes. You got this.

wwmiv, dude.....i told you, you had this. never doubted you.

As someone who has known folks in your same situation, I've seen some not make it out, but I have seen a few turn it all around.....even later in life. It is never too late. Work on yourself relentlessly, and good things will come.

Congrats to you for beating the odds....keep on keeping on, and thanks for all you contribute to this amazing group of uhhhh.....forumers?
