Way to go, Rob. Not long winded at all, quite useful and inspiring tbh...
i'm getting transferred from the current portfolio, to one in shipping / freight. Something I didn't look forward to, but after reading your post, shipping / freight just might be my lucky break! i'm gonna give it a shot.
... one thing I learned from your story is that you'll never know when something you object to, is actually a blessing in disguise! I'm burying my prejudice with the shipping portfolio, and gonna go for it. Thanks for sharing with us!

Wow, your life certainly took some more turns during these past months than mine Rob! But in the end your story seems to be turning out great. It seems that, like me, you've taken the opportunity life threw into your way and had the guts to start something completely new. So all I can say to you at this point is: Congratulations for your new job!

Ill echo the words of joy and say to you both, Congrats!!
I could bore everyone of horror stories, but perhaps when I hit my cracking point, Ill blog about that later. So far in 32 years, Im running strong...well, crawling strong is more like it.
"But you know what they say-- If you cant run, ya crawl...and if you cant do that...well, you know the rest."

Yeah, great to hear all went well in the end, infox. As you know I'm completely computer tech deficient, but I know you're in a great company. This is how I know:
"These are our clients. The reason we're here. The reason we do great work. The reason we drink copious amounts of coffee."
Any company with a sense of humour and commitment to honesty has alot going for it!
I often wonder how everyone is managing these days with the big "R" word going on. Myself I've still got a job, but our raises have been very far and few between, nowhere near keeping up with minimum wage increases or cost of living. C'est la vie.

Thanks for the story Rob!
I'm very glad that you're going & doing well again!
Could you tell us on what specific project you're working on, if it's not confidential?

I just wanted to thank everyone in this thread for making me a bit more optimistic about my own future. I recently quit my job and swore loudly and clearly to never work for anyone else but myself in the future, and you have given me that extra little push to start planning a bit more ahead. Now I just need to figure out what the hell I want to do before the money runs out

I actually loved the idea of working for myself, but at the same time I didn't want the responsibility of doing all the non-web development stuff that comes with it.

Darn, looks like I'd been idle for two long - I only just got around reading your post, Rob. What a story! Glad things turned out so well for you after what happened. Keep going!
