the chains that are unexpectedly refused for you

It will have been raining in Harvard Square for only half an hour when you give up hope.

On Monday I got laid off. I spent the next couple of days lazily rounding up personal documents and potential writing samples from the work laptop.

Today I transferred those to my home machine, cleared all personal touches from the work laptop, and shut it down for the last time. Then I went out and stood on the porch for a little while.

The Fraser River was mostly empty. In the distance, a barge full of dirt passed out of view behind Annacis Island.

You cannot know what will happen next.

I'm doing pretty well, just ... at a loss? It's that thing where I'm suddenly free! to do whatever i want! and I have to figure out what that is.

I hope that whatever it is is good to you and brings you things you never knew you needed.

(Also, big piles of cash)

[jazzfish]

Thanks! I'm hopeful. And I'd even settle for medium-sized piles of cash.

I hope this extra time for yourself will be a blessing.

[jazzfish]

I'm pretty sure it will be, once I get used to it!

May this be a step in the best possible direction for you.

[jazzfish]

Thanks! I think it will be. Or at least, the next step I take will be.

I hope this turns out to be a good thing for you overall.

I am almost certain it will be. It's just been a bit of a shock. Difference between 'I am getting ready to jump into this icy stream' and being pushed, I think.
