Thanks for the sympathy, my friend. It has been a wretched winter so far. 🙁
I hope your trees are all going to survive.

😀 😛

You are most welcome 🙂

Yea a really nasty winter. 🙁 I lost a lot of trees. I hope those that are still around come back in the spring.

Thanks Trees can go dormant in the winter and then pop back to life in the winter. It all depends if the root system is healthy enough. 🙂

 

[milagros317]

Ah, I see. Let us hope that most of your trees have very healthy root systems. 😀 😛

[sophilos]

Glad to hear the ground is firm under you.

I am up to the eyes in checklists, warranties, contracts and receipts. Hiring has ground to a halt in my field in my area, in my age bracket, in God knows what all. I'm going to have to hire myself.

 

[General Zod]

Hi mils Glad you are well I am well



Hi Sophilos I am well Hope you are too



Hi General Zod. Hope you are well I am well

I was a chemist. Chemical and Engineering news use to have 7 pages of employment ads. Now we are down to maybe 1/2 to 1/3 of a page and most of these ads are out of the US. I been trying to start a company but not having a ton of luck. I tell people I am self unemployed. 😉 😛

 

[General Zod]

Thanks Glad you are well too.

You are most welcome my friend and thanks.

 

[kurchatovium]

You are most welcome. 🙂

Good to hear that the cross-country crew is all well and safe this evening.

I'm an A+ Certified electronic technician. That doesn't mean much in this age in which kids come out of high school and go into startups.

Most of us know a lot more than our certs. The trick is in capitalizing on it. I think the wedge is in security -- virus removal, dealing with rootkits and lesser malware.

I hear ya. I use to pride myself on being able to fix my own computer workstations. Progress at least electronics wise though happens at near light speed. I know there is a ton of stuff I dont know. LOL Seems progress is happening faster then I can learn stuff. 😛

Security and virus removal are in big demand.

On my last job, they screwed me out of my vacation and made sure I got no UI. If not for family, I would be underwater right now.

I know a man with your credentials used to be able to at least sign on for a teaching job. But I do not envy teachers. Dealing with other peoples' child-raising failures is the most drastically underpaid job in all the civil services.

Sophilos.

Whatever you do,stay out of trucking. They do not pay for shit for drivers starting out these days.

Take a good look at BleepingComputer.com. For variety, go to microsoft.com. They sponsor a free Baseline Security Assessment utility that I plan to make the basis of my business.

I hear you about the trucking profession, Zod. The income divide is growing.

Yea I got screwed out of a patent when I worked doing military research. Got screwed out a patent and a publication when I worked for the medical industry. Is it any wonder I want to start my own business. LOL 😛

I looked into teaching as well. Ironically I can teach college but not high school
