I Need Some Good JuJu Here Guys...
Well, Shit...

It's been a rough few months for the Gonzo clan and I could use some good Mojo...

I found out a few days ago that my mother has a baseball sized growth on her right kidney.
The Doc said he's seen this before and it's likely not Cancer, (I don't know what the hell it would be, a cyst perhaps). Apparently, the treatment for this involves injecting a small radioactive rod into the growth and killing the infected tissue. Unfortunately, this will likely kill the kidney as well.
This usually wouldn't worry me much because my mother was always a very strong woman. However, since her retirement about 8 years ago her health has steadily gone down hill.
My mom's a great person, she worked as a CNA for over 30 years while moving every 1-3 years for my dad so he could further is millitary career.
Lifting Senior Citizens in and out of bathtubs and off of toilets for that long has taken it's toll on her.


They both retired at a fairly young age and have been able to enjoy it until recently.


At this point you pray for small victories.



All of this crap coupled with my job worries, worries for my son and all the other bullshit I deal with daily wears a guy out.

One thing I'll say is that Lumpy has been awesome with all of this. She's been a great help and very supportive. She absolutely loves my parents and is always there for them.

Another bright spot is that I'm being considered for a promotion.
Funny how things like this go, I'm either worried about getting canned or I'm excited for a new opportunity. WTF?

I was going to take an extended break from this place but I am in need of the stress relief that CP provides so I'll be in and out.
(gimme my $$$ back Sofaking)
I try not to share too many personal issues on here but with all of the support you guys have given me, it's only fair I keep you updated.

Hopefully your severance package is decent and it allows you to take some much needed time off to spend with your family.

Good luck man.

I have no solution or great advice other than to concentrate on telling the people you care about that you love them. Spend more time now doing things for them and with them.
I plan on it brother.

It's time for me to do the family thing. I've been so pre-occupied with work that I haven't been giving my boy the time he deserves.

Hey Gonzo, try to enjoy the month off. I know it sucks, but when the same thing happened to me last year I doscovered that my honey-do list filled up my time quite nicely. In fact, I could have used a little more time than what I ended up having.

Prayers and best wishes for your mom. Too much of this shit on CP here lately.

Now there's a positive.

The time you've lost on the job spend with the family. The kids and wife.

Preferably banging the Mrs. Gonzo silly during any free moment as that will lead to a decrease in the overall Gonzo stress.

JMHO...

Thx for all the kind words and well wishes, guys. This has been a rough time for us, but we're staying optimistic.

How the hell can they expect you to sign one when they ****ing laid you off? What a shitty dick move that would be on their part.

That's the way these companies work man...

I have so much classified information in my noggin that I could do a lot of damage to them if I wanted to.

That's not how I roll though. This company has always been VERY good to me. My best friends work for them and if I did something like that, it would hurt them as well.
I CAN go work for other similar companies, I just can't go after any current clients of this company.

I'm sure they will offer me something in the future too. It would be a shame for them to waste all of the training and knowledge I have amassed over the last 11 years.

Take the month off. You've earned it. Then you pretty much made some extra money and you still have a job. It sounds like things are going your way. I had a feeling they would.
