Thank you for being completely real with us (your readers) from the start. I understand your need to say goodbye to this. You’re a great writer with so many talents–I truly hope something turns around for you as soon as possible. If you’d like to connect, I know of some Boston-based nonprofits who are looking for director of development positions. I know it’s not your total focus in the marketing field. Also, I know this is maybe awkward to do in a public space, but I’d like to offer my friendship to you. Not just becuase we live in the same city, but I do feel like I already know the crappy place that you’re at. No need to try and hide that! Either way, I’d be happy to stay in touch about other nonprofit career opportunities. Peace and love to you. Z

I am donating not for the “entertainment” you have provided, but because you are a person who needs some help right now. I have read your posts for many months … so many times I could identify with you … I worried about you when you didn’t write … I celebrated your accomplishments … I shared your grief … I feel like there was a “reason” that I happened to find your blog … Although we have never met, I feel like you are a friend … and a friend helps a friend.

Glad that the insurance (finally) came through and that it looks like good medical news. The processing delays are ridiculous. The more cynical side of me attributes some more nefarious motivations to the “backlog” other than capacity shortage. Glad that CHA could be helpful – they’re great.

It certainly speaks to how screwed up health care is in our country :( Glad it turned out to be a false scare.

I brought in advocates from CHA to help. They sorted it out.

If it’s CommCare or the like, our folks have had some really good success in getting stuff pushed through if it’s a paperwork issue. We get a ton of calls on that.

]]> Comment on Press Pause to Step Away by Peter Boyd http://learningtodrivestick.com/2012/03/27/press-pause-to-step-away/#comment-760 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 03:07:35 +0000 http://learningtodrivestick.com/?p=1281#comment-760 Coming from the other other side of the aisle, I know exactly what you mean. My mantra the past few months has been 43 and going nowhere fast.

Back when I was 19 and at college at UND (that would be University of North Dakota, not somewhere more famous) I remember looking out the window on a particular Friday evening. Our RA (resident assistant) was outside, drunk, making snow angels and proclaimed, “25 and going nowhere fast” in that kind of hippy/stoner sort of drawl. I think I now know what he felt like. Only, he reached that conclusion about 18 before I did!

Do what makes you comfortable, regress if you have to. Sometimes, despite what people say, the status quo can be a good thing. Drive gets us places, but contentedness is what makes us happy. . .
