Sorry to hear about the layoff. That said, with unemployment so low, there should be tons of positions open.
Doing well myself. Didn't really bring this up here, but I ended up getting married (again) in January. She's a great woman and I'm very happy. No red flags this time. We've been doing lots and lots of travel. Went to various places in Europe last year and took a 3+ week honeymoon in New Zealand and Australia.
I previously learned to ride a motorcycle in between marriages, though I don't own one. I just rent one every couple of months for a couple days. I was thinking about buying a H-D, but now I'm thinking about a Triumph Bonneville. I'm not 100% certain. Kind of a bad financial decision and it's obviously a health risk.
I'm still at the same organization that I started working with after moving to Florida 7 years ago, though I earn more than 50% more than I did then after switching careers into Information Security. I did have a bit of a career setback when new management decided to hire someone above me rather than promote me into the position. A bit of a lost opportunity to get into the next tier of my career, as it's the type of position that's easier to organically grow up into than have another company take a flyer on you for. I'm also kind of getting burned out and am thinking about making a move. Other than that, going okay.
Overall, I've been pretty fortunate.
