Today is my last day at my current soon-to-be-former job.
The story is common in tech: new management, a resulting destructive reorganization of the development team, plans to outsource most everyone. It’s unfortunate because (most) co-workers were fun, but time to move on is time to move on. I’m very lucky that I have the option (DINKs!). Throughout my career, any unhappiness always resulted in an aggravating overlap of unhappiness and interviews and pressure. This is the dream. (And this is why we need UBI so that everyone can have such freedom and psychological calm.)
Plans for my 3-month sabbatical: music (of course), learn new and re-learn old development technologies and frameworks, German exercises, ear training (god I’ve lost so much ability with that), update my Ubuntu server to the next LTS build.
Oh, and shaving my head tonight.
The job market better damn-well be as strong in three months.
