Layoffs at my company again. While I was not cut, I think the whole thing has me unsettled.
It means that I shouldn’t look forward to any improvement in compensation next review cycle. Not that I’m really happy here, or would like to stay, mind. But, this is one of those signs that I really need to git, because there are no resources for anything.
Another, less-tangible outcome is all of the people with knowledge that are going to walk out the door. My current position has me knee-deep in the debris of past engineers, doing forensics near-daily on applications built by those who ‘have moved on to better things’. I don’t relish having to fill in for *more* lost knowledge.
I’m tired, boss…
They say that you should be seeking a new job to run *towards* something, not *away* from something.
But, the reality is that I don’t really have a thing I want to run “toward” except being able to work without my hair on fire all the time, which is technically what I’m running “from”.
What do? 🤷🏻♂️
Cool, cool. Guess I’m going to have to download my stuff from FA as soon as I can, seeing as how babyfurs are getting the boot from there…
What utterly useless pieces of shit…
I despair of the fact that there are all of these museums in this city, located mostly in the same place, and I can’t go to all but one after work.
Bad day? Gee, wouldn’t it be neat to just go sit in front of a painting… and probably lament that the trajectory of my life didn’t allow me to create the same thing. *But*, a place to decompress that doesn’t require food or alcohol. Gosh, what a concept.
Discovered that Les Pacte des Loups is on Amazon Prime. It’s one of my white whale movies, a favorite of mine that is generally unloved, but not so unloved as to become a cult hit. And so, finding it on streaming or disc has been nigh impossible.
Of course I had to start it…
This not sleeping through the night thing is getting old.
Perhaps tonight’s episode has a touch of COVID/Flu vaccine and the inevitable next-day droop that comes with it.
But, I’ve been having problems for the last year or so in particular, and I suspect this is the start of a long, slow decline. 😕
