First Iteration


There are several things I need to do to fix the problem I've created for myself and this is one of the most important ones.  I give certain types of trust too easily, I don't think more than a couple hours down the line at best and it's come back to bite me and people who care about me in the rear.  So I'm working on this to try and save what little face I can and protect my future and my reputation as much as possible.  It might be too late already.  I'm hoping it's not.  I still need to obtain the opinions and input of the other party involved.  Names and such have been omitted.
