Well, it was good while it lasted. Just about 15 minutes ago, I found out that I will be in a new position effective Monday. This is a position I have been trying to get ever since I started having problems in my M. My old position was a project engineer where I was responsible for capital projects at the plant that I was assigned. Up until my marital problems, the previous year and a half was spent on the road working on projects at our plants in New Jersey and Kentucky. In my new position I will be a process engineer at our plant in St. Louis. NO MORE TRAVEL!!! Unfortunately, this means I will be out on the plant floor quite a bit more instead of in front of a computer, so I won't be able to post much during the day anymore. We had a good run together, and I thank everyone for the help. I still will be posting updates to my story in the evenings. Good luck to everyone who is fighting for their marriages.

Don't you just hate it when the job stands in the way of posting!!

Best of luck with your new job Jim. No more travel will help greatly with your M.

Your help during the days will be missed.

Hey Jim, congrats on the job. As one who you helped out during the days - I say "Thanks" from the bottom of my heart (what is left of it right now anyway).

Keep in touch - you have my number if you ever need to call or vent.


Divorced on 3/25/2008 but I have primary legal and physical custody of my 2 kids.

Hey, Jim...congratulations. Little travel = easier to obtain 15 hours/week in building a better marriage.

Posting at work is a double edged sword anyway. Sometimes I rush what I write and don't like what I said after I posted something.

Anyway, the "day shift" will miss you, but we will be looking for a post or two in the evenings. You've helped a lot of people here, just because you grasped the program right away, and started passing the "word" along as soon as you got it. You make sure working on your own marriage remains a priority !!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My sinceret gratitude for all of your posts to date Jim, they have helped me tremendously to make it this far in the early stages of the worst time of my life.

Your plethora of posts will certainly be missed, I'm glad to hear you will still be around and keeping us updated on your story. I wish you and your family much happiness and the very best!

Jim, I'm always amazed when I see your age at the bottom of your posts.

Sheesh, if you're this mature at 26, you're going make one wise old codger. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sorry if that sounded ageist but when you're 52 (like I am) and the cops look like schoolboys, 26 seems a long, long time ago.

Congratulations, Jim!

Thanks for checking in on my thread and the advice you took the time to give; will be looking for your sparse updates. I, too, have had to slow down on posting (a work no-no), but I felt compelled to do so this week, due to MASSIVE changes in my sitch. I'll be posting at night, too, so I'll see you there...
