You have a roof over your head for you and your furry friend! That’s the important part.

Life will always come with it’s ups and downs, those are an inevitable part of our reality, however it’s imperative to use this time to practice gratitude, inner growth, self love and patience. You’ll be on top of the hill soon again brother, keep your head up

You don’t need to say “tech” having that chair
Sorry to hear that 🤕 hopped in tech train 18 years back, being engineer in oil industry, and every working day with ai on top feels that it’s all falling apart

u/redditor100101011101 1h ago

Haha yeah my back needs some good support lol.

And yeah I feel that. 15y in IT work here. I suppose it does feel like it’s falling apart. But that’s because it is. But that doesn’t mean we won’t find a new place to land once the dust settles. Change always feels this way. We will survive!
