About Me
I'm a 42 year old single father of two kids. I have full custody of my kids, and it's not the normal 'every other weekend off' kind of thing. They don't go anywhere, on any weekend, any summer. That may change someday, but, for now, I wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm also a programmer. Yes, a generic term, but I do a lot of different things. For the last 8 years, I've been a Controls Engineer, Automotive Paint. You know, GM, Ford, DCX, etc. Machines, robots, paint flying around, powder coat, and recently sealing and foam applications. For the 7 years prior to that, I was writing software for Pepsi syrup rooms, some bottling, and blending.
So this makes me a pretty busy guy. The reason I'm telling you this? Cause I'm not here to date, stop asking. Dating doesn't seem to be going all that well for me. Why? For the years leading up to my ex's unforunate demise as a parent, my kids were put third or fourth on the totem pole. They didn't deserve that. My ex put herself first, my career came first for me, and everyone had me as the dirt under the totem pole. I wasn't even on it.
A few years ago, as I embarked upon my new life as a single parent, I decided my kids should come first. My career second, me third, and anyone else fourth. Guess what? Women DO NOT like that. Maybe someday if I find a woman that understands this, or my kids grow up to a point where they don't need as much attention, things will come together. But for now, I'm happy just working my way through this.
