Just got a job offer, it is a contract position but could care less about it being contract. Gee, I guess someone could finally see past the gray hair and wrinkles and see the real me. I am over the moon as I never thought anyone ever was going to pick me up. The one aspect that I do not know if I will like is that I have to be in the air again (travel).

It is along the same work that I have done for almost 30 years so an easy transition back into the workforce. My new boss is over 25 years my junior and I actually love that aspect. We are all the same.

Sorry, as I did not want to take up any one's time reading this boring tidbit of my personal life, but I am VERY HAPPY and having no one and nowhere to say it, I hope that it is ok saying it here.

Thank you to everyone here for being supportive and a great friend to/for me and I consider everyone here my family that I have never had till now, thank you!

Thank you so much!! It is so darn nice to have such good friends, like you! here.

Again, thank you for being so caring and kind.

Walter

Thank you! I have never heard that saying before. I will say this much that I dug my heals in as far as what I wanted for compensation and after a lot of back n' forth they said yes.

I always cherish all of my friends/family here so very much and having you as an awesome soul that has been so nice to me, I just have to say a huge thank you. Darn I am crying right now, sorry. So happy to have such a fantastic family here.

Take care my good friend.

Walter

Thank you so much @Sherri! In my 29.5 years before being laid off, I travel some years up to 40 weeks a year. I have been to a lot of the world, BUT not all the places that I want to go yet. I still have not been to the UK, Spain, Portugal and some other countries in Europe and I really want to go to Nepal sightseeing sometime.

This is my HOME period and each and every person here to me is family, right or wrong, and I will always be here, unless I get kicked out or something of that nature. Sanctioned Suicide is a home for me that I never ever have had, and all the folks here are like brothers and sisters to me.

I love your taste in music @Sherri and I will always be here and maybe you can educate me more in various styles of music.

Thank you again for being so nice to me, you are truly a caring and loving soul here.

Walter

I have to say @ncmxm that I have been crying writing these posts as everyone here means so much to me and I am never going away. I truly appreciate how nice you are, especially about the aspect of a person's worth. Yes, I could never understand what some gray hair and a few wrinkles had to do with what one can bring to the table.

Thank you as reading your post just shows how kind and caring of a spirit you are. I am so humbled to have you as a friend.

Before, Sanctioned Suicide, my life was an empty existence and folks like you and all the other awesome souls here, have made my life, since June 2020, just so much more of life fulfillment.

Thank you so very much!

Walter

Thank you so much for the kind post to me. I truly appreciate it so much.

You are a reason that I am doing ok, as you help me daily, thank you.

Walter

Thank you and also, my heart breaks reading your post as I wish upon you lots of sunny days, caring and kind thoughts and the knowledge that you are very valuable here and this site would not be the same without you'

Please try and remember that you are a kind and thoughtful person with so much to give everyone here and elsewhere.

All my best to you always.

Walter
Congratulations! You totally deserve it. You didn't give up. Have a great day.
You made me cry (again) in a nice way as when I read your statement about not giving up. I sent out over 500, yes 500 resumes, and had countless interviews that always ended with something about my age as being a factor.

I truly credit Sanctioned Suicide and all the awesome folks here as it helped me and guided me to keep going and that I have so many friends here.

Thank you so much for the kind message as you prove my last statement about how much everyone helps and affects me here in the best of ways.

I thank you for being so nice to me and being there for me and others.

Walter

Thank you so very much for the very thoughtful message. I am just beside myself with how darn nice everyone is here, and you are a shining example for darn sure!

I truly feel like I for the first time in my entire life have a family. I have cried with every message here to me.

I am truly speechless.

Thank you again ever so much.

Congrats Walter. :heart::hug::heart::hug::heart:

So happy for you.
It's always great when there is good news here. Not gonna lie, I got a little emotional reading everyone's replies.
People are so caring here. Sometimes there are a few that aren't, but the majority are awesome.
Why is it so hard to get that IRL? Most times S.S. is the only support people have.
I'm sure you will keep in touch and let us know how everything is going.:heart::hug::heart:

Take care
