January 2016 Update
I missed a positive month by a mere $89! On the bright side I did that with only 2 weeks of pay. But DFG there are 4 weeks in January you say. That is correct. This was yet another crazy month in my world. A friend had called me up in November regarding a job opening where he worked. You own your career is the mantra an old boss taught me. It was 30 minutes less of a drive to/from work and I liked working with my friend in the past. Another thing a friend of mine taught me is you should go on interviews or at least do phone ones even if you are not looking for a job. You never know when the hammer will fall and you will be sitting at home without a job. Just like public speaking, the more you do it the easier it gets. Long story short I progressed through the process and was offered a similar salary but with better health benefits and vacation. All signs pointed to yes so I started 1 week into January....
