Hi @disarrangedjane,
it feels good to read you again!
It's almost one year ago you and globocop (I did not add the @ because he told me not to mention him anymore) gave me the newcomer boost here on this crazy platform.
I'm still very thankful because without you two I would have been gone 11 months ago.
So to answer your question: I'm great :)
But reading your post makes me feel bad - except the part

And, I'll promise you this: I will get that job back!

Hey, make it happen!
Take control!

I am sure you can manage all the negative things happening and turn them into positive.

Please, don't let me be wrong!
