It's funny to me now to think that I will be drowning myself in work.. that's where I get peace 🕊️

Not going for tea, it's already 3:30 AM and I wanted to sleep, but this has been a nightmare knowing rich assholes can sleep better after ruining the sleep of thousands

I have a job for now, it makes me wonder...who will pull the strings and it will all come crashing.

I think I will keep thinking more and will eventually crash!

@drwho @fuzzychef
In any case I am happy to not open Twitter and Cameron masto instead. At least I got to have wonderful conversations here.

Thank you and everyone else who chatted with me.

@Mayank @fuzzychef All I can really say is, there is no stability, really. Have a backup plan and keep your resume up to date.

@drwho @fuzzychef exactly, I have been doing that only.

Have been able to build a decent Upwork profile as a backup. And now I am focusing on building my website/blog to ensure that it can help me stand out from the crowd if I end up facing the undesirable situation.

Also trying to upskill as much as I can.

Are you taking any particular steps?

@Mayank @fuzzychef Updated resume, plus taking advantage of a severance subscription to a resume editing/consulting/legwork service (hey, I'll take any help I can get, force multipliers are good, actually). Heavy networking (which is how I'm getting hold of some of that information). Playing with a few things (Grafana is next). Going to start asking some previous employers if they're hiring. I should do some formal studying, too.
