I am calling this an adventure because that is exactly what it is. I have always been employed and have never been fired, let go or had a non-renewal of a contract, however there is a first for everything. My mother always told me to "never say never" and guess what she was right!!! I would hope that someday my kids will be able to say-you were right mom.
I am digressing. So let's start this adventure at the beginning.
