Although I'm sure this post will be reaped, and I know why, but I'm asking anyways.

I am very desperate for work. Things haven't been going well since we (wife and I) were evacuated and forced to move because of forest fire. Two months after I moved everything from my haven up north, I lost my job. Was able to acquire the odd contract here and there, but nothing stable. After the pandemic, nothing.

I am at risk of literally losing everything, and my sanity is already half-way there.

It's not like me to beg, but I am begging anyone, anywhere for work.

My Perl experience speaks for itself. Most of you know I have a hefty background in global network engineering, as well as four years as a Solution Architect for an Identity and Access Management firm. I've also worked for what is now the largest online gaming corporation as their Global Network & Systems Engineer.

If you've got a job, or even just a quick one-off contract that I could perform for you, please do let me know.

If it matters, I've also got a few very good prototypes for the indoor grower (not specific to, but definitely geared towards cannabis growers) that no other company has done, but ran out of money to push it further. Funding towards this would help out as well, with the understanding that your due diligence will be honoured.

I need something desperately.

The Perl Jobs site hasn't had anything since late June, and all other jobs are being fought for at a scale I've never seen. I suspect that as my resume states a couple of 10 year gigs, folks grasp my age, and see that I'm not a young cookie out of college.

Anything. I have no shame. I'm in a fight for our lives.
