Ha! I like your friend too Dif. If only we could all have someone to speak the none DB words out loud so we can at least hear them. How cathartic.
Sorry to hear about your job not working out, sounds very frustrating and expensive time and energy wise to have to find a new one. But what else can you do? You're going to get through this, it's going to be hard, but when it's all said and done, you'll be in a great place.
I look at V's situation and the amount of work she's already done and has to do and draw inspiration from it. One day at a time, one project at a time, sometimes one hour at a time of progress. That's how you finish this marathon.
We've got your back around here so know that you're going out on your new job finding adventure with people behind you for support.
Have a great Sunday.
