Good evening my tech-pilgrims, it’s great to be back here tonight. I wanted to apologize for my long absence it’s been a really difficult time to sort out my own shortcomings as a IT professional. But to also realize some energy alignment shifts that I have had to do with my efforts and the journey that I have begun with documenting my progress and what I’m learning.
First off I wanted to be blunt and start out that this isn’t going to be a lengthy and in depth article I just wanted to share my explanation of how things have been going. To start off with I am really proud of the articles that I published about following the tutorials of building a router from scratch and pairing that with an access point. And that is a topic that I’d like to re-visit again in the future, however this was something I saw that was taking a lot of time and energy away from my focus of learning IT subjects. The pursuit of making a network perfect for my needs was becoming distracting from actually learning and getting tasks done.
So I’m not going to be finishing the home-lab series I started, or more likely what will happen is i’ll be finishing it with what I went with and how it’s serving my needs. I realized that I also was in a place mentally and emotionally with my career and life path that I was starting to get tired and frustrated. See a little bit of context as far as my job goes I was working a contracting job doing IT work for a client. But I wasn’t hired on permanently, I was thankful also to be lucky enough to have my contract extended for another six months. But that’s not what I wanted, I wanted to get hired and be in a permanent full time job.
The frustration of job searching took it’s toll on me and I didn’t feel alive or even wanting to continue writing about my journey. For now, I don’t want to go into the struggles so much about it. I am thankful and eternally grateful that my efforts though were regarded because I was able to get hired Full Time to provide IT support for a local employer here in Seattle. Finally after 4 years of struggle, skill building, and worse working through trauma and mental doubt I’m able to get started on this new journey tomorrow on the first of the month of June. So all I can say for now is that new beginnings and articles will be coming out again now that I have some footing again and a foundation on which to build and stand again. Thank you all for bearing with me as I work through these struggles. Now forward onto new dreams and new hopes… stay strong my tech pilgrims!
