Having left Microsoft abruptly, and now IBM more recently (out of work since December), I've learned the reality first hand that we are not valued by a company nor their executive leadership, we are quite literally numbers on a spreadsheet or colors on an infograph. I respect former managers and colleagues, but I have zero ego tied to a company name or the owner/CEO.

I've interviewed at Microsoft and Oracle, and have applied at IBM during this period of reset, and hold no ill will, though I am also no longer starry-eyed and expecting to retire there. Simy because these are companies where my decades of experience will be valued at the manager level, and the job and income would ne something I can enjoy. I literally have no thoughts about the executive leadership at this point, I just want to be able to feed my family.

I have a deadline to respond to a Motion for SMJ in 1 1/2 weeks. I just found out that my grandparents who I haven’t seen since the start of the pandemic will visit this week. I want to spend as much time as possible with them but it will be hard with my response due. I really don’t want to tell the Court that I am seeking an extension for personal reason, what would be a good reason to provide? I clearly don’t want to misstate anything but is there some general, vague language that can be used?
