'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
shrift, what exactly do you do?
The biggest component of my anxiety is worrying that I'll be unemployed in a few years and wont't be able to find a good job due to age discrimination in the programming industry. Perhaps I'm more anxious than I need to be but anxiety isn't logical.
What I know can help my anxiety is for me to stop trying to ignore the issue and instead finding out what my options might actually be.
So, um... yeah, I should get on that.
Also, SQL is easy. (At least it is for me.)
I'm glad you had good health news for your dog, Consuela.
If I lose my job here, I'll check around various insurance companies that use our product and ask what they'll pay for someone who has done tech support for the damned thing. I've gotten lots of "If you lived here I'd hire you!" remarks.

Good question. I used to be in Trust & Safety, basically, and now I'm in online advertising policy. I want to get back into Trust & Safety. I'm considering a move west to Silicon Valley (::shakes pompoms back at Consuela::) because that's where those jobs tend to be.

Ha ha, if you're like me, prepare for a temporary increase in your anxiety when you actually start finding out what your options are, because then you have to figure out what to do with your life. My anxiety generally drops after I've made a decision, but I'm in the limbo between realizing you need a new job and actually getting a new job.

Yeah, I've messed around with it and Python a bit and can make thinks work, but I can't say I'm strong in it.
JFC I left my front door wide open all day.
-t, you seem to have gotten all your Mondaying out of the way for a while.
Being on vacation made this seem like a not-Monday to me. Would that I could sleep in and go to afternoon movies on regular Mondays.
Today was totally a not-Monday for me, but that's mostly due to wheee birthday! Which included, in the weekly check-in call with my boss, him saying "Happy birthday, you don't have to call in to the 7am meeting tomorrow".
Very nice, Jilli and Matt!
That's a good birthday gift, Jilli.
So I woke up realizing that I have letters to write to my current coworkers as a good bye, please don't forget this.
I tore my bedroom closet apart last night looking for the heated throw that is exactly the right thing to sit under in the living room on a cold night while you watch a movie in the dark.
Hence, there will be considerable closet-rearranging today, so I can get it all put back in, plus possibly a donation trip to Goodwill....
