started a job

Hope you're feeling better Rampy and that your surgeries went well.

Started a new gig myself this last week. I've been doing wholesale auto parts sales for NAPA, and wanted something more challenging. Almost on a whim I applied for a job that sounded fun, never thinking I stood a chance of getting it. Careful what you ask for, you just might get it. Turns out they're almost doubling my salary, essentially to travel around the country and help fix broken NAPA stores. I'm going to be gone from home a bunch, but with the youngest graduating high school in a few weeks, it won't be so bad. In my prior life, the wife and I only saw each other 1-1.5 days a week if we were lucky, or 10-15 minutes a day and we were able to make everything work, so this should be much of the same.

It’s complicated, my surgeon has to partner with another surgeon & then schedule OR /recovery time 

Still waiting to find out when I’ll get cut open, my surgeon’s surgery scheduler said it’s hard to make everything line up due to the complexities that could arise & they always schedule for worst case scenario to ensure best possible outcome 

so I’m in a holding pattern
