I still intend to pursue teacher licensure in the long run, but I have just gone back to work as a truck driver. I've been at the new job for a little over a week now, and I'm writing this now because today was the day when everything finally clicked, and I was sure it was all going to work out. This is no cushy part time gig like the one I had for most of my time here at Rosegarden. I'm driving a 22-wheeler now, pulling a pair of pup trailers terminal to terminal on third shift, and I'm tied up from 5:00 PM until 7:00 AM for all intents and purposes. That's a huge hunk of time out of my day. Everything looks a lot brighter for my personal finances, but my Rosegarden time has effectively been reduced to something for me to piddle around with while I'm having to stay up all night on the weekends to keep my sleep schedule on track. There's just no chance I'm ever going to be back maintaining the same kind of presence I used to around here. People are going to have to take up the slack, or let the project languish. Either way, it's pretty much out of my hands now. I did a lot with it back when I had time to play around here, but my play time is gone now. -- D. Michael McIntyre |

Congratulations! I am glad your financial situation is looking up. I have thought of your situation often and wondered what more we could do as a community to help out. Your reduced presence will be our loss but the new job is definitely your family's gain. You have done so much for the project. Big shoes for the community to fill. I wish I had the coding skills to contribute something other than anwering an occasional question on the user list when I have the time. Dave On Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 8:16 AM, D.
