@jerry I think it’s a shitty thing that’s happened to you. You shared your story with wit and pathos and I’ve enjoyed it and taken inspiration from it. I was terminated and spent two months driving around Australia with my Australian wife of then 2 years. A thing I could have never done while employed. Im sure you’ll find the time off to do your own thing. If a coffee table book full of photos of every last orchid on the planet should get published, I’ll buy a copy, display it proudly, and tell its story. When I got home from Australia a job practically materialized out of thin air that I’m enjoying still. I see the same for you , too.
