The good news? - this is my **1000th Post!!!**. Okay, trivial at best, but still a noteworthy milestone for this individual.

The bad news? I got laid off today. On Friday the 13th. Kinda outweighs the good news, but there you have it.

I was not happy, and have been networking/looking for sometime and have two solid leads I am hoping may work out. Please wish me luck.
