the old "stuff" happens has kicked me hard. I'm not going to be online even for a while.

I'm not even sure I'll be able to keep my domains going, so I'll have to get a web based email address if so.

moving and loss of regular income thing.

right now, I'm not sure where I'll be sleeping come september.

I'm hoping I can get Employment Insurance, which I've been paying into for the last 5 years. that will give me 60% of my normal income for a period of up to a year while I look for another position.

the moving, is from a very significant risk to my life.

like I posted, life is kicking me, hard.

I'm in New West and have a spare room, a couch you can flop out on as needed. Shaw extreme speed on tap too! I'll even spot you some web space if needed. If you ever need somewhere to crash, let me know before finding a cubbyhole in front of the Balmoral (I've been there too).

On teh webspace thing, if you need somewhere to host your site, I'll let you use my Shaw webspace, it's only being used for a personal picture ook right now, I've no problem clearing it out for you if needed.

Don't hit the street, swallow your pride and lean on me if need be. I'm in your area a few times a week too if you need anything.

By buddy Tim Hall 604-864-0465 started an IT company around 10 years ago, InsightIT, call him or email Chris through his website. They are usually looking for either Novell or Open Source talent like you.

Haven't seen him for some time but it's worth a kick. PM me and I can give you more personal details if you like, like my real name as a reference etc.

Fight back as hard as you can. If they knock you off your feet, kick like h3ll.

Hope you can get it fixed soon.

For every adversity life throws your way, an equal or greater opportunity always presents itself. This is true - but you have to seek it, see it, and pursue it.

If all you see is the adversity, you're looking in the wrong direction. And you're too damned smart to overlook the opportunities. Look the other way.

and when everything goes down the toilet it's a good time for major changes to be implemented.

doesn't make the shock of it happening any easier though.

edit to add:

everyone's comments can be seen as a "pity party" as it was put in a peer message to me, or as a community offering support in the only means available to a member.

and no, I wasn't offended by the peer message, the member that sent it sent a message that does help keep the motivation up, for which I do thank him. It also increased my respect for the member.

..... to remind you that you need to look at things a bit differently. And you're too damned smart, jaqui, to look at them through the eyes of a defeatist.

My Friend.

And remember that no matter what happens things are never so bad to make you use a Microsoft Product again. ;)

I've already gotten a temporary place arranged.
made a contact to get help dealing with "red tape"
gotten a cell phone arranged.

I should be somewhat stable by next week, with the necessities covered. It's figuring out what changes to make and how to implement them after that.

I work with MS products all day, so I got lazy and have an MS machine at home :0
I know I shouldnt have, but it happened :0
I still have a Linux box (and 2 at work) to get me through the bad times, but I have strayed -- I was even considering a new Windows box for games and stuff.
Please show me the light, before I cross that path.

Take the time you need to work through the issues, wish I was there to buy you a beer or two but corporate travel is frozen.

Come back when you can.

I completely understand how the whole "stuff happens" thing can totally kick your @$$. At this point, I believe I can write a book on the subject.

Hang in there. I know that these trying times can really smeg things up. Don't forget to reach out when you need someone. It can really make all the difference.

Let us know that you are okay.

(((hugs)))

Is there a way to kick off (pun intended) a help fund for Jaqui?
We all have been down this road, now is the time to help those that can not help themselves such as Jaqui.
Any ideas anyone?

by jck

if one comes up. i'll help. Jaqui has given me enough free Linux advice, it's the least I can do.

by jaqui

FUCKING SHIT!!!!
that bitch life just won't leave me alone right now.

it looks like my last grandparent isn't going to be with us for much longer.

stupid fucking thing is, if I didn't have a facebook account my sister wouldn't have been able to contact me with the news, we haven't been in touch for a while.

and I really don't have much use for the facebook style social networking sites.

by jaqui

have to wonder what the third shitstorm will be.
after all, the expression is shitstorms happen in threes.

by gadgetgirl

but I think you'd better hope for a minor one.

Let me know if you need anything, Jaq. You know where I am.

it was another double hit, but the focus was on a life long family friend, where both families were friends, all 10 kids combined and the parents.

by jck

If I can do anything, jaqui...you let me know.

If I lived up there, I'd give ya at least a couch to sleep on at a minimum.

Hope ur okay. Take care man.
