My x boss Eric instant messaged me today. We were the best of friends for so many years. Now he works and lives an hour away. I hardly see him. We share many a hilarious Catherine - Eric stories, so much so, my friends still ask me to repeat those at parties. I suppose at some point I will have to write them down here too. He wants me to go back to my technical career. He knows that all things technical and teaching people about it, writing and my son are my loves. He gave me a job lead today and I feel like posting a shrine to St. Jude (Catholic mystical stuff) to pray it comes to pass.
