I found out 2 days ago that 10% of my company will be jobless this coming week. I will find out on Wed Feb 4.

After so many hardships in my life, and so much hard work to get stronger and more resilient, I can say with confidence that I'm handling this much better than I would have otherwise.

In the past, I might have stocked up on red wine and sharpened my knife, but this time around, I'm just lifting heavier weights One of my foremost principles is "Do not lose your calm over something you cannot control.". I'm standing by it.

Wish me luck. In all honesty, my entire life depends on my job, not emotionally, but practically. If I lose my job, you might never hear from me again ... this is not to solicit pity from you (I have plenty of pity for myself), but it's a very practical decision I made many years ago, for reasons that haven't changed.

Thanks for reading
