Extremely! And we were a few years older than you when we plunged in. Furthermore, the business we went into, not being retail where you have customers (hopefully) on your first day, requires a long period of preparation, marketing, and selling before the first nickel of income is realized ....... that nearly drove hubby nuts.

It was months before we got our first revenue in the company. Altogether we went for a year without a paycheck because we wanted/needed to leave everything in the business. Thankfully, our "baby" had just gone off to college so the grocery bill, the phone bill, the light bill, and such all dropped dramatically with no kids at home ...... :-)

But if what you're doing is in the Lord's will, it will work out. It won't be easy, but He will look out for you and bless your venture.

Yes, I have noticed that about my job too. We released a product last week, the software now goes to a website to be downloaded, I never see the good tangible results of my work. I think that is why I like to cook, and do handcrafts so much, I can see the fruits of my labors. :)

There are some distressing rumors going around at work right now, I may be out looking for a job in the not-too-distant future. I am going to try and track them down tomorrow.

Well said. It truly is in His Hands. I seem to be the problem with my fears. grin!

At least I know I won't go hungry.

I have this week and the beginning of next off as we're between terms. Today I went to visit a private school that has recently opened in a small city much closer to me than Nashville. I really think that the director would like to hire me, but they don't have enough students yet to keep their one full-time teacher busy.

I think I would like to work there, but it may take time before they can offer me even a part-time job. Meanwhile, I'll keep making the long drive to Vanderbilt and fill in with the counseling apprenticeship I'm doing through my church. I will trust God that by January or so, my job situation may be more stable and won't require me to drive about 2 and a half hours a day to make such a small net income.

I'll add my AMEN! to that.

Teachers are needed in Texas also, but the salaries paid by the church schools are indeed a pittance. I'll have to review how much over tuition we are contributing.

"I look forward to being in a business where I can touch the raw material, effect a change, either sell or fail to sell it to the customer. "

Well, I've been searching google for a nice fall foliage picture from Wisconsin to share with y'alls but I can't find one.......................I'll try again tomorrow.

The trees are hitting their peak and it is really beautiful to see.

Oh well..................

May fourteen angels wing their way to you tonight, Johnny. I am going to CALL IT A DAY. Good night & God bless.

The really sad part is that I like my job, and I'm pretty good at it. It is the political games that make me crazy. I'm not leaving without a severance package, but there have been some distressing things going on (groups being dissolved, being told that they have a week to find a job, those on vacation are SOL.) As it is turning out, the head honchos just want little yes men and women running around. I'm not that outspoken at work, but I am keeping my options open. As you well know, right now is not the time to be looking for a job in the computer industry.

And I have been thinking a lot (and praying a lot more.) Right now, I feel comfortable with where I am at and what I am doing, and I do an excellent job for the company. Once it doesn't feel right, then we'll see what happens. The hardest part is waiting...Thanks for listening, I'm off to bed.

Good luck to you in your job situation. From the reports you've posted since you started teaching, I can tell you are an excellent teacher. Someone will recognize that and give you a good break.

I gotta decide what I REALLY want to do. Teaching doesn't feel right as a career...and I'm not really that experienced. Counseling is an interesting option, but it's still untested.

I really miss working overseas in a multicultural, multiethnic setting.

Is the subject of the restraining order allowed to have counsel present to dispute?

NO. Not if the judge doesn't want it. Often time the person restrained finds out when he or she is served with the restraining order. It is not a court judgement of guilt or innocence. It is a court ORDER to behave or avoid behaving in a certain manner. The subject is enjoined from doing X. It is not a trial. And the person is not entitled to council.

A grand jury can indict a suspect for a crime and the person can be picked up put in jail with out notice of any kind. The person finds out he is indicted when the cops pick him up and serves the indictment papers. The person indicted may or may not get bail. Grand jurys often issue secret indictments. That means it is illegal for anyone involved to inform the person indictted that he or she is under consideration for an indictment. The grand jury hears the evidence against the suspect. The suspect is not allowed to present a defense. And in the case of secret indictments is not even allowed to know about it. The secret is broken when the person is arrested. Only after the subject is in custody does he get an attorney.

In Ohio restraining orders are at the discretion of the judge. My dad was sherrif of a county in southern ohio. He would just call the judge and tell him what kind of order he wanted. The judge would tell his secretary to draw it up. The judge would sign it and Dad would send a deputy over to pick it up. Dad would then have it served on the subject of the restraining order. The subject often only found out about the order after it was issued and when it was served.

In most counties the judge,the police, and the sherrif have a close relationship. And if the law officer in charge (sherrif or police chief) asks for an order he gets it. For my Dad sometimes the judge would only ask what kind of order, the name and address of the person to receive the order and when dad wanted it ready. The judge did not even ask for any particulars. Dad wanted it so the judge gave it to him.

The world is not what you see on TV.

Good luck to you in finding a career and/or job that you will feel comfortable at. Sometimes it is a long journey. I'm really off to bed now.
