Hey guys, I'm hanging out there!

Thank you everyone for your support I greatly appreciate it ! This has been extremely painful and difficult to get through. As a life time mechanic there have been some simple things like putting a trailer hitch on my Colorado that I have not been able to attempt and I am even taking it to have the oiled changed and tires rotated. The motorcycle trade show a month ago I was so close to pulling the plug and bailing on it but getting the shot in my back breathed a little life back in me but I still had to...

Good luck with surgery …. I have MRI scheduled for the 5th for what the ER PA thinks are probable L4 - 5 bulging disk. Symptoms for past week, sudden onset with out a fall or crash or over doing it in the gym are: From outer left hip socket, around to groin and down to knee though center of quad the most excruciating pain I have ever felt that made standing up or even taking a step bring a tear to my eye. That’s along with numbness in my inner left thigh from the knee back up through my...

Wossner USA confirmed to me by email yesterday (quick response too) that they indeed have the corrected piston (forged). The problem is not so much the intake skirt length, but the thickness of the casting, which can allow crank contact on the inner part of the skirt. The Wossner is machined in that area to allow clearance. Ordered one yesterday and due here tomorrow. Seem like good folks.

The RSS connects radiologists with the ordering physician, PA or nurse to discuss critical findings over the phone. Pretty much an operator who makes all the calls and contacts with various hospitals and offices.

Sounds like you’ve already got more than a full time job on your hands. Shame our country can’t provide for those who sacrifice like you are. I’ve been working from home for a decade. Software engineering. Mostly self-taught but it takes a lot of time and a passion for it, the former of which I don’t blame if you can’t find. Wishing you luck on your search.

I'm in the same boat. Just graduated with my Bachelors and have been trying to find my first job in IT. I haven't been keeping track but I'm going to guess I've applied to 30-50 gigs in the last month with zero responses. A job will be posted on LinkedIn and 100 people will apply within the first day. Things have been looking bleak to say the least but I'm hoping things get better now that we're past the holidays. Good luck.

Take a 40 hour education course online and your own pace/convenience, pass the state and federal exams (not hard)…no formal education required.

If it's mostly or all computer work like my job then you'd have a great chance for any employer to set you up to work remote. Before Covid I would usually have to call in sick 3-5 times every month. I could still do my job I just didn't want to be in the office and piss myself from a spasm or be going to the bathroom every 30 minutes from bladder or stomach issues. My boss mentioned to me that if I went to HR with a doctors note they might make an exception for me to work from...

Nah, tons of folks i know that are mortgage brokers didn’t have a finance/mortgage background. Only issue is starting with no clients or contacts, similar to real estate or insurance. Take the pre license class, pass your test and get licensed. I have a few friends who recently switched careers to cyber security. Really depends if you have time and money to retrain. What are your skill sets and experience?

I don't remember what he does but I know that @ProKawi24 works from home. Maybe he'll chime in.

Mortgage loan officer…a bit tough at the moment, but when it turns a corner of a few months it’s a great income, flexible schedule, and virtually no need to meet with clients (as long as you stay away from banks and credit unions). Once licensed you can basically have your pick of companies to work for. downside? Commission only…and it takes a minute to build up a clientele and referral relationships…and/or costs money to buy leads.

Man, you deserve a great job and a new beginning this year. 🙏
