4 wins, 1 battle SITREP. This gets us to March 26. I’ve got most of the hard work done up to early May. These DWDB threads won’t be as much a chore now.

Folks, I am so sorry I have been absent. Things have gone into crisis mode over here.

It’s kinda funny: For 7 years, during the Obama terms, I was a Federal Contractor for the CDC. Did great work for them, was even given three different honors, but the time was to move on.

Then, two layoffs (and one voluntary job change). So I said to myself, “Self, the CDC was rather stable. Why not them again?”

Took another Federal Contract position that had promise for a multi-year stint. Six weeks later, the 2017 budget got passed. Two days after that, Lorry (my manager) said to me “Our budget line item got cut 13%. Sorry, you are the last in, so you are the first to go.”

So I have mixed feelings. I am delighted that government got cut, I am horrified that the cut was ME.

So, I have endured my THIRD layoff in ONE year, and that has completely burned me down. The nest egg is GONE. Unless I can put a job together by August, I’m evicted and have to start from ground zero. So, obviously, that’s been what I’ve been focusing on.

I still have time to continue this list, but I’m in trouble.

The Daily Win / The Daily Battle thread is back. Ask if you want to be on that ping list.

But it’s not all cheery and happy right now. See my #2.

Time to be TRUMP.
Never give up.
Push harder!
Fight like hell for whatever it is you love to do.
You must find employment in a vocation you love!
You can do this! Pursue your dream. It’s not too late.
Begin first thing Monday morning.
Compile your list tomorrow.

Laz.

You most certainly are qualified to be a journalist and should have your own media empire. With that comprehensive analysis of facts and perspective, any good conservative publication or Network would be glad to start you on your journey.

Try the Washington Times or NY Post, OANN TV - the “Daily Ledger”.

Prayers for your future - it’s going to be bright, brighter, brightest.
love
