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.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

shrift, what exactly do you do?
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.
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.
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.
Also, SQL is easy. (At least it is for me.)
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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
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....

Front door is closed, dog is inside, I have my phone and my lunch. Ah, Tuesday.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's 27 degrees and I wouldn't leave the house but I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon so I can't be a hibernating sloth. The cat woke me up at 4am and I couldn't get back to sleep. I have a pile of work that must be done today and I can't concentrate for shit. Also, I have to wash my hair before anyone sees me and even that seems like an Onerous Task. I want to go back to bed. I am a grumpy sloth today.
While having a part from the Rover is cool, the disparity in cost is appalling.
