#backtowork — Public Fediverse posts

Hi there.

If you noticed, haven’t posted anything here for past two weeks.

Decided to go on a quick social media vacation for two weeks.

But, you know what today is, time to get back to work.

Le plus difficile après cette semaine de congé ? (9 jours, même !) Remettre un soutien-gorge. D'ailleurs j'ai failli oublier, et vous. #falalalalafeteestfinie #backtowork #bleh

Back to Normal

The cats were very displeased with us when we got home last night. They hid for a while before coming into the room with us but keeping their distance. By morning they were being super affectionate again. Actually, they seemed more affectionate than usual. Maybe they were just starved for attention. Two days without humans constantly baby talking to them must have seemed like an eternity.

Jen and I are both back to work. We’re both really tired. We were so busy this weekend that it feels like we need a weekend to recover from our weekend. I won’t be getting one though. This week at work has the potential to be pretty rough. Here’s hoping the universe takes it easy on little old me.

We have to put a pause on the celebration of my step son Harry for a day. Today is my step daughter Bellana’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Bellana! WOOHOOO!! A couple of weeks ago I was sad because I had a birthday that moved me from my early 50’s squarely and undeniably into my mid 50’s. Today sees a similar (though less depressing) thing for Bellana. She moves from her early 20’s squarely and undeniably into her mid 20’s. The poor thing. The poor, still very young, thing. Heh, sorry.

Apart from the birthday celebration everything is back to normal. I even looked at the long range weather forecast and as expected, it calls for rain next weekend. Of course.

Back to Work!

After 193 days of job hunting, I can finally say I’m employed again. Those 6 months and 12 days weren’t just a number—they were an exhausting cycle of sending out endless applications, chasing leads that went nowhere, dealing with ghosted interviews, dodging a couple of scams, and collecting rejections. At times, it felt like screaming into a void with no way out. Each rejection stung, and any bit of progress seemed to vanish as quickly as it came.

This wasn’t a “break” or a vacation—it was relentless. I often worked twice as hard as I ever did while employed, just to keep up with the grind.

The role I’ve accepted is a step down from where I was before. It’s not the position I envisioned for myself when I started this search, but the job market right now is brutal. It’s not just about being qualified or experienced—it’s about navigating a process where employers hold all the cards. That imbalance often felt arbitrary, even cruel, leaving little room to breathe.

These past six months tested me in every way. I panicked more times than I’d like to admit, and my depression deepened as the search dragged on. Therapy, antidepressants, and the support of my family were the lifelines that kept me going when I felt like giving up. Without them, I don’t know how I would have made it through.

To everyone who stood by me during this time—thank you. Whether you checked in, offered advice, listened when I needed to vent, or simply respected when I didn’t want to talk at all—it mattered. Knowing I had people in my corner gave me the strength to keep pushing forward.

And honestly, while it may sound like I’m bitter, I’m also genuinely excited! I’m looking forward to learning new things, sharing my experiences, meeting new people, and most importantly, being my true self from the start.

Coding and grinding LeetCode to prepare for interviews was one thing—but doing it for real-world systems again will be an entirely different and refreshing challenge, and one I’m eager and ready to face.

The way forward is still unclear—not just financially, but socially and politically as well. As someone from a marginalized community, I know there are unique challenges ahead. But for now, I’m here, and I’m moving forward.

I can now say that I am officially employed once again!

My offer letter arrived in my inbox a bit ago and it has been signed and submitted.

I will start on-boarding/orientation on Monday at 9am EST.

This is a bit lower salary than what I wanted, but it's at least something to bring in some money and not just us living off what we have in the bank.

Hey everyone! We're back from the Easter break and slowly getting back into the swing of things. Starting off with some concept work to get those creative juices flowing! 💡

First day back at work after a good, long Christmas vacation.

One of the advantages of having your birthday close after New Years is that it is possible to extend the vacation for just a couple of days and ensure that you're fully recharged before heading back to work.
