Hi
For me it was a surprise, but I did not see the doctor regularly due to many hours at work. Found out due to  hypo attack that landed me in the ER. However it was not a big surprise since I already had eye complications from diabetes.

Hey, we want an explanation on the name, too!  I read it as No Math Jobs - but maybe that's just me, because I prefer jobs with as little accounting as possible!

Yep, I read it as No Math Jobs, too.

Are you a math geek?   :thumbup; Looking for a job?  Sorry, Jbeany, I LOVE math.  :2thumbsup;

Nomathjobs...welcome to IHD!   :welcomesign;     I also got a grin out of your user name since I suck at math!  I have always said that math is the reason God allowed man to invent calculators and computers!   :rofl;

Thanks for the welcome.  About the name - I studied math in college and it reflects my job prospects upon gradyation: there were no math jobs.  It sort of stuck after that. 

I am in Idaho, near Boise.  I work for a large semi-conductor company.  Married with children.  My wife is being very suppotive, even offering to donate if she is compatible.

Still having.a tough time with being "full" all the time, as I am doing CAPD but I guess I will get used to it

 :welcomesign; nomathjobs, hope you like it here. I started with CAPD and moved over to CCPD after about a month. It does take a bit to get used to, but after the first couple of weeks, you don't even notice it (at least I don't any more). I feel more different empty than I do full. Let us know how you are progressing.

 :welcomesign;   Why did the accountant cross the road? So he could bore the people on the other side too! (Sorry, one of my music professors told that after a discussion on math vs music.)   :rofl;   Don't worry, not everyone here is as crazy as me!

Been while since I dropped by.  I am pretty much used to being full - feels a bit strange to be empty now.

Will be trying traveling next month - a week in Dallas.  When back it is the cycle test - woo hoo
