Baditude, you've been a permanent fixture around ECF and you've helped countless others. I can't imagine someone with your talents and ability not able to find employment somewhere. Keep a positive attitude as best you can and dig for opportunities. You are only whipped when you give up and I don't see you as one who will.

If there's a library close to your new location, use the computers and stay in touch. Someone on ECF in your area may just be able to link you with the right contacts for a new job. Good luck, buddy!

Baditude, I'm so incredibly sorry to hear this! You know that if there's anything the local community can do to help you out, we will do our best. I'm hopeful that things will turn around for you soon.

if you want to send me a pm on Facebook telling me what kind of job you are looking for, I can ask around. I have some contacts at a couple of good places, but I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for,

@Baditude

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your work assisting us, helping reduce smoking, and your general good nature and informative posts. I look forward to more of them as soon as things turn around.

I wish your circumstances were different, but I'm glad it hit now rather than in 4 feet of snow during the Holidays. I can't comment much on the surgical assistant job market, but I know that any vape shop would be wise to hire you for your knowledge and blogging abilities. The blogging/marketing alone for them would pay off.

Wishing you blessings, the best luck and more opportunity. Do keep in tough with us if at all possible.

I am always one mis-step away from being in your exact same situation Bad.
Age, skill set, non-existent retirement funds etc., I damn sure know where you're at just now.

Considering the contribution of self and knowledge you've made here I'd wager you've done similar in other venues.
Doesn't pay any bills but hopefully the appreciation garnered from all of us here can serve as a silver lining kinda thing for ya.

Strength good sir and Hoo Rah for family!

I'm still kinda new to the vaping community here on ECF, but I know when I come across someone who knows their stuff, and you are definitely one of those people. Stay strong man, things will get better for you! A lot of people here have your back as well as having their fingers crossed for you to come back before too long.

Sent from Doomite Central!

Bad, it truly saddens me to read this. If it were not for people such as yourself, the odds were that I would have failed at vaping and retreated to the analogs.

You were there right at the beginning of my vaping journey. Reading your posts helped me avoid the many pit falls and common mistakes that a new comer might ordinarily make. Myself and countless others were/are able to develop a solid vaping foundation because of YOU.

I experienced my own personal hardship(s) some 8 months ago. Thus, my absence from these ECF boards for a period of time. I trust that you will find yourself surrounded by better circumstances very soon, my friend.

You are "good people," Bad. Take good care . My warmest thoughts are with you.

Wow, Bad... What a world we live in. I'm very sorry to hear these things.

It's a disgrace to society that such a kind, knowledgeable, and skilled person like yourself can end up in your current position.

This news has has definitely affected me, and I do sincerely wish you all the best. You deserve nothing less.
