I've recently vowed to overhaul my life in the next few months or die trying, and one of the big principals at work is to not complain about my problems. So I feel a bit hesitant to post this. But I'm going to have to try. I recreated my account, and I hate that this is the first post, but here goes. I'm currently on the verge of bankruptcy with sick people to take care of. I'm working with a startup trying to get off the ground, but it will be at least a month until we have investment funding, if that happens. I can't wait that long. I have had an almost comical degree of bad luck with the job hunt over the years (between that and some other factors, my life has been more or less "crisis mode" for a long time now, and that has caused problems), and particularly over the last several months. This is not helped by my complete lack of a social network. At the end of the day, I don't have anyone to blame but myself, as it's my fault I'm in this situation in the first place, so don't mistake this for self-pity. Nevertheless, I'm reaching a breaking point. I am summoning all the energy I have to believe myself and take one last Hail Mary attempt to fix my life. I'm going to get in shape, I'm going to rediscover a liking for coding in a way the job hunt can't poison, the whole schtick. I will throw myself into this and do whatever is possible. But I'm going to need some luck along the way. There's a lot I'm leaving out, but we'll call it there. Now, I don't want to be the guy who asks and doesn't give anything in return. I don't have much, but I can say this: if anybody else is in a similar situation, I'm happy to be at your side and you be at mine over the next few months. And I vow, if I succeed, once I'm stable, I will help others get out of ATS hell, too. (High-performance C++ is what I'd truly like to do, but I'm open to anything. I can teach math, I can translate basic stuff. Hell, I'm willing to clean toilets or huck out farming equipment at this point.)
