Well I'm still around. My old XP box with all my junk on it is down. Trying to use a Dell laptop w/win 10. What a bunch of crap. I do check in every week or so. Thanks to Glatt for the link. Also Bruce for posting that I'm still alive. And any others who cared to ask.

I figure she was successful and too busy, or failed at snuck back to Canada in embarrassment. The latter would be a shame because the deck was heavily stacked against her, and she shouldn't be embarrassed about getting screwed.

Since she wasn't talking about moving, it seemed like she was opening shop in the same area her previous employer operates in and many employment contracts in her field have noncompetition clauses which preclude that for a year or more post employment. I wonder if she initially avoided that clause, got a concession on departure to not make waves; or, opened up shop outside the noncompetition radius. That occurred to me at the time; but, I figured it was none of my business.

I hope she's just busy and didn't run into any legal problems. I hope she's not exhausting her cash reserves if business is slow in picking up and getting her established.

Her suit against her former employer may have put things on hold too.

Hey, sorry to have been quiet. Things have been exhausting and somehow I crash every night without checking in. I had to move my father back to Ontario, and his health promptly headed straight downhill. My practice has pretty much failed, and ...

Yeah, that.

Business has been too slow and I owe the bank too much. I got a contract with a client for 4-5 days/week onsite, which limits my practice to independent medical exams and pilot exams one day/week. The contract will help with the bank loan but I don't start getting paid until October.

I had a worrying mammo and some bone issues but am back on track again. The mammo turned out to be a false alarm after some additional imaging and tests, and the bone stuff was a pathological fracture due to cancer meds - but not the metastatic kind of pathological fracture, so I'm happy to just have bone pain that isn't cancer! Somehow the fatigue is still there, so with long days (long commute to work) I fall into bed and still never seem to get enough sleep.

The lawsuit is slowly wending its way through the bowels of the EEOC; that has to finish before anything else can happen. I suspect nothing really WILL happen in the end.

I need to check out the threads and catch up, but wanted to say hi first.

I'm glad you're still fighting. Even if it's a strategic retreat at this point, you're undefeated. I'm curious if you've been getting any moral support from family, if not cheerleaders at least not critics.

News just in: Ortho says "Hi!" and thanks for thinking of her. She's had stuff to deal with which tends to make her go and deal with it, but she'll be back shortly to tell us all about it.
