Not Dead, Just Away
6 years ago
Dear friends,
I thought I would give y'all an updated journal post, since it's been a few months after I was let go and what not.
After I was let go, I ended up getting my first kidney stone! Shadow was down south with her family (family emergency) during that time, so I had to tough it out myself. Ended up going up to the UP for the 4th of July a few days later with my family. It was nice to see them all again.
After that, and when Shadow came home, I went into job hunting mode. Updated my LinkedIn, started applying online, thankfully I received unemployment benefits during this time. It only took a month to get in interview in Wisconsin. We decided to drive there for an in-person interview, and didn't even make it back to the hotel before they had made up their minds. They decided to hire me on! More pay, closer to family, and I'm doing strictly CAD drawing and 3D modelling. No more designing stuff and handling full projects as a "Technical Drafter". I left an abusive boss, a failing company, and started the move over to a new area.
Thankfully, everything was moved safe and sound. No incidents (other than Shadow busting her foot on the porch step...), and we ended up moving while the weather was still nice. Here in Racine, they have a big, gorgeous beach, very nice downtown and zoo, and plenty of outdoors stuff to take advantage of! I'm happy to get to see it all before it got cold and snowy.
My new job has been very good, so far. I'm happy to have made this decision in my career. It's stable company, we're always busy, and I can only add to the experience I have, as well as learn something new!
I do plan on going to a lot of conventions in 2020, Fursquared, MCFC, FWA, Aquatifur, and MFF! I hope to see some of you there! I'm more active on Twitter and Telegram. Feel free to add me, I'm XedtheDead on Twitter, and Zedian on Telegram.
If you made it to the end, you're a champ! Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, and I promise I will upload some new art, as well as a few new 3D prints that I've done.
Have a wonderful day!

This is an excellent and blessed new start in Wisconsin! Sounds like you and I have very similar jobs now lol. Are y'all using Inventor or Solidworks? :D
