Hnag in there my friend.im sure things will pick up again and you,ll be posting pics of your new ball again when you get sorted with a new job.

I'm so sorry to hear it man. Positive vibes your way. If there's anything I can do, just let me know ... I live not too far away from you. And you're welcome anytime to come by and pick up a fiddle or two.

**threeminutesboy** · 11-20-2009, 03:54 PM

Sorry to hear that

I really hope and pray for a better the future for you

**browndog** · 11-20-2009, 04:02 PM

A big Thank You for all the kind words. I try to keep my chin up, but its hard. I shouldn’t use this forum to wine about my problems as I know that there are many of you in the same boat. Chatting about it is sorta therapeutic in a way.

I’m a graphic designer for a living Stratty.

Thanks again all. I think I will stick around here.

If it's any help the truth of the matter is that once you hit the bottom the only other way is up. Good luck in overcoming this dark period.

Jeff
sorry to hear about this. Everything will work out. Soon we'll be reading about how you found a new job making more money and how your going crazy ordering new EBMM AND SBMM guitars.

**Big Poppa** · 11-20-2009, 04:18 PM

ok browndog he comes the advice from me.

What do you love? What do you like? You get a chance to use your past collective experience to help you in what you decide. The key part is even if its free or minimum wage go start doing something.....anything...that you like or better yet love.....volunteer at a store or a charity get busy and start momentum opportunity can only happen through change and action.....These are good words trust me.....A stationary object collects dust.....even if its an hour tomorrow it widens your circle and gets the network kickstarted and the bood flowing.

that's very well put!

That's some bad news, hope it all comes good.

That's some great advice there from BP - get out amongst it, just keep putting yourself out there and make your own luck.

**browndog** · 11-20-2009, 05:29 PM

Thanks Jason, if you remember I told you that I’m ill as well. But I may take you up on playing one of your guitars. All depends on my health.

Thanks BP. I’m suppose to start volunteering with the Canadian Diabetes Association this coming January. I was just diagnosed 5 months ago. Again, this will depend on some health issues related to my Diabetes.

And thanks to all those not mentioned. I appreciate all your comments.

I have heard that calgary and spots in newfoundland are looking for people to fill certain spots in the computer field. Maybe take a look with them? Montreal is where all our video game makers are at the moment so I'm sure there must be a spot for a graphic designer there as well.

I'm sure you will find a position soon and atleast you have OHIP to take care of you as well.

**redeleon** · 11-20-2009, 07:22 PM

A fellow graphic designer here,
also i dont have any job, I get funds for just some luck if Im going to have a new project. the money im getting is not enough to sustain me, but I keep on going,.
Keep your heads up brother!

why not use your passion and turin it nto a business?
my GF loves clothes and now she is about to start an Online fashion Shop with me as the Web designer..

"opportunity can only happen through change and action"
The very best advise that I've read!
Nice BP!

**Big Poppa** · 11-20-2009, 10:13 PM

Daibetes,drinking? I know a fair amount about the kidney issues with diabetes and I know that you know about that combo....You will not move ahead if you dont move....

**NewLukeGuy** · 11-21-2009, 05:14 AM

Hey I'm really sorry to hear about your situation. I've only been on this forum for several months after having purchased my first EBMM in June. What's ironic is that I my f/t gig is in the diabetes area. I don't have the disease so I can't understand what you are going through but I know a lot about it b/c I work for a company that markets and manufactures products that help diabetics to live the life that they want to live. We have a huge passion for improving the life of the diabetic patient. Be safe and find things to do that make you happy and keep you busy.

Jeff, I'm really sorry to hear about what you've been going through.

BP's advice is good relating to getting involved in things that you're interested in. A lot of people over here in the UK are now working at companies for free, just to get experience and a foot in the door. I'm sure that your work with the Diabetes society will really help with your motivation, confidence and job searching.

Stick around, you don't need to have an EBMM to post here, just look at how many posts Foggy had before he'd got his first!!
