oh god x 3 update
So pretty much the exact week I decided to really commit to quitting my job, I immediately poured water into my backpack and got both my laptop and my tablet soaking wet. Yay!
The tablet (an iPad pro 11" from 2020) was unsalvageable, and had to be replaced. Alas. The laptop thankfully (macbook pro 16" from like last year) was not too wet and was able to be dried out (longest three days of my life) at home.
An auspicious beginning to my new freelance career.
But it worked out, so I'm taking it as a sign that my mettle was being tested to see if I could handle the uncertainty (with a lot of support from friends and family, yes, I can) and perhaps to point out that even in the middle of a crisis of not insignificant proportions, I was still happier than facing the relative security of a steady paycheck at a job that otherwise makes me want to beat my head against a wall.
It's the little things, really.
Today is already shaping up to be a little insane, since the only time available for me to have one of my meetings is 9:30pm. Office in the morning, home to get my bearings (aka: shower), then work, and some phone meetings and then going to pick up keys from a friend to cover her shift tomorrow, then dinner (???) and then my 9:30pm meeting, before I come home again to go to bed.
Hopefully Ill be back soon with better more interesting updates. :)
