I'm gonna take a stab at this from the example I found referencing the notation. It seems that the operands are all considered binary expressions; therefore, in context, what you're looking at is a string of individual number values. That makes the 42 and 56 two sets of two integers each. The first set of two consists of the numerical values 4 and 2 rather than components of the expression forty-two. The same goes for the next set of integers, 5 and 6, which should not be construed as anything like 56.
The sequence in which the operators are to be applied to the individual operands relies upon proximity. The equations, as written, are + / 4 2 + 5 6 ... In this type of notation, the operators are put ahead of the operands. That is, the action to take is put ahead of the things acted upon. This means that what is closest to being resolvable gets evaluated first. What is seen of what's written, when observed closely, is + 5 6.
This means add 5 and 6. The result is 11. The expression then looks like this:
+ / 4 2 11...
The next decipherable equation that you can see is / 4 2... That means divide 4 by 2. You are now left with an equation that looks like this: + 2 11... This is the last expression to be seen in the lot, and just means "add two to …

I agree completely, iamthwee... Hope is the point, when depression is the issue. The loss of hope is the loss of faith; and, when someone no longer feels there's anything to place their faith in, especially in their own value, isolation can become deadly. If we allow that to go on without exerting whatever positive influence we may afford, then we've written somebody off in some way. If our influence brings to bear those things they can connect with that gets them back to a place where they can deal with their own circumstances, and puts an emphasis upon what core truths everyone should keep as their own treasure, then at least the attitudes and emotions involved in what is an otherwise downward spiral to destruction are addressed--- and may do some good...

There's really no way to gauge the severity of depression in any individual from their words, since some people clam up and isolate themselves. It is only after something dreadful has happened that any proof is seen. All the rest is guesswork, albeit under a doctor's supervision or not; and, while medication can do a great amount of good for some, for others it has the opposite effect. Along with whatever may be prescribed, if at all, therapy is vital for breaking the depressive cycle. This can be informal or formal; and, talking about things is a large part of that. If someone has started to talk, then there's seen in that to be still a …

Bravo... We have the same hero... He took on all of every oppressive force, and was nailed to a tree under a curse because of it; then, dared to rise from the dead. His one message was, and still is, FREEDOM. Many seem to overlook the simplicity and reality of this, not "Living" that freedom, and the sincere Love that produced it. Such passionate commitment is never without a price; and, to not feel such passion is to refuse to live, letting the meaning elude us--- while our brother perishes. You, it seems, recognized this in the words I penned--- which aren't exactly my own, just my own rendition, in different terms, of what you know. He does, after all, "restoreth my soul". And, it is written that for each child born, an angel is stationed at the foot of the Throne to pray for him... That's something precious to keep, along with the Gifts of The Spirit. Sharing these things, and the knowledge of them, is an exercize in Faith, Hope, and Love--- and it is a "Good" thing--- especially when it is seen reflected back by someone else. Again; Bravo... You do know...

You are in a difficult position in which many will find themselves. You have the assurances of an officer of a company upon which you must rely; yet, you do not have any demonstrated substance with which you can back up those assurances. While what you have been assured of may be the absolute truth, things do change; and, things get put onto the back burner--- or forgotten... Or, as is the case in many business dealings today, some things not agreed to by those in charge of implementation can be left to "burn out" on their own... The tactic employed, translated, is something like "Ignore it--- It'll go away"...

While all this is possible, and your status is of great concern and a priority to you, the actions of the employer are not reflecting that. That leaves you, for all intents and purposes, still "unemployed". You are just attached to the strings of the employer.

SINCE this is the case, the best suggestion might center around remaining as engaging a person as the CEO first perceived you to be. This means remaining at the disposal of the company, and in contact with them. It might be wise to give them a call and ask whether the paperwork pertaining to your employment had gotten caught up in channels, or if you had perhaps missed some pre-employment requirement somewhere. It's best to be humble; and, it's not less-than-permissible to inquire if there was some misunderstanding on your …

You folks have some fine looking desktops. My desktop sort of changes with my mood, coming from a file I keep full of photographs I trip across on the net--- such as this one.

The second desktop is a little revealing. At the bottom of the screen, you'll see the app I keep handy for dealing with all these icons for the "important" stuff I dare not put into any folder, as well as the shortcuts I can't bear to be without. One touch changes what I see... This is running WinXP SP2 Home Ed. as an O.S. on a desktop PC...
