Hi.

I have been barely checking in for the past decade. I started calling here when this was a BBS on my Commodore 64. No longer have the modem or that 64, but still have one that needs to be unpacked in my office.

I got married, got a management job, got promoted, got 2 master's degrees (MS and MBA), wife had twins (22 months old now), and moved to NJ and Indiana in the space of 10 months.

We're now living north of Indianapolis in Carmel, Indiana, and I'm now working as an Executive Director of InfoSec somewhere in this area (those of you who know me on LinkedIn know where).

I hope all is well with everyone.

Now let's see who pops up from the BBS days

Mitch! Great to hear from you. Not surprised at your success but sad to hear you're one of those evil MBAs tw warns us about.

Undertoad · 09-23-2016, 08:36 PM

good day sir

Hey mitch. Good to hear from you.

Clodfobble · 09-24-2016, 07:15 AM

Mitch, I remember you, though I imagine you don't remember me. I think the above post might be the first one you ever didn't sign with your name.

Hey man! Wow - you've been busy.

FWIW, I still have the computer you recommended many years ago. Still working great too.

Pamela · 09-24-2016, 06:21 PM

Hi Mitch! Glad to hear that you're doing all right.

Clodfobble · 09-25-2016, 07:09 AM

This is why our insurance claims department is constantly putting me on hold...

I'm curious, not suggesting anything but just curious, if let's say having a lawyer who specializes in shit like this would be worth having on retainer, someone who can just make the call and by his or her mere presence ramps the whole thing into "Let's fast track this shit because they're not fucking around."

Anonymous has something to say about this, I think.

On the up side, once you get a handle on the system, job security sounds good. You go girl.

infinite monkey · 09-25-2016, 02:01 PM

Good to hear from you Dana! I know what you mean about jobs where there aren't enough hours in the day...my time in Higher Ed was just that. It takes all your mental energy all the time.

One day you'll look back and be all like "Pfffft, I got this!"

Indeed I do.

During the course of my dealing with foreclosure proceedings with my bank, I was eventually served and the bank had gotten the ball rolling towards getting a court judgement. I still had the very remote possibility of being approved for a modification if I managed to get a $65K a year job within a month or so... Not likely.

I figured my best shot was to stall for time and so I found a lawyer who would represent me through out the proceedings for a flat rate. Our plan was to drag this out as long as we could so I had more time to find a FT job.

When we showed up for the first meeting with the bank's attorney's we left with the agreement that I would fill out, yet again, an ass load of paper work in aid of applying for another modification that would need to be reviewed, misplaced, bounced around and then denied. We set a date for the next meeting to be in mid to late October.

Three days after the meeting, the bank sent me a pre-approved provisional modification, where I need to make three trial payments, on time, and then I'm current, at a lower fixed interest rate, with an extended term capitalizing my unpaid interest.

I know if I hadn't gotten the lawyer, they wouldn't have made the offer.

Payment two is coming up and it's close but I'll make it.

So, I'm wondering if there is a 'not fucking around' effect that lawyers bring to these sorts of negotiations.

glatt · 09-26-2016, 11:27 AM

I think there is.

They put up all these hurdles in front of you and hope you will just give up. Enough people do give up that it works for them.
