First thing I did upon starting my work day was to open a beer. Just one out of two purchased for the occasion of yesterday being payday. I then proceeded to skim through my inbox and appointments for the day, concluding that beyond migrating this one production system over to the new VPN there’s not going to be a whole lot...
I’m 40, so restarting my career at this point is a no-go. Plus, up until this summer I enjoyed my career, so it’s just an issue with my current employer. Besides, the systems and tasks that were migrated away from me are what I will be doing at my new job; Designing, building and implementing the new production systems, something I suddenly was unable to do at my current job.
I do have some sort of server room at home that I tinker with now and then. Setting up my own fed instance is something I might do, but I need another rack installed first, as I have another server I’d like to dedicate to that purpose.
However, once I get on board company C as described above, it should be good. I’ll get the interesting stuff back again. It just takes its time, because I told them that one of my demands for joining them would be to establish an EOR in my country (better employers protections and rights, etc), and that part of the ordeal is taking its time.
It’s under control. I allow myself one or two beers on pay day, and I limit it to a sixpack on weekends. I’m not 100% dry, but i’m not falling off the cliff either. I’m fine as it is now.
I am about to complete my long running Factorio game that I usually play during work hours. Once that’s done I need to figure out something new to do.
It’s not happening until February at the earliest, I’m afraid. I have to give three months notice at my current job (That goes both ways, just for the record), something I’m not doing until the new paperwork is signed and filed.
As a tiny toddler I remember liking mushrooms. Suddenly we couldn’t eat them anymore (for a while). I later learned that weather brought clouds from Chernobyl to us, where it rained for a week straight after the incident. I imagine this movie is a result of that.
Inside me there are two wolves; One is a quasi-alcoholic slob with a home office, while the other is an overpaid and demotivated IT "professional" who hates his employer.
