#having a career

I keep going back and forth on staying with the company I'm with or moving on. I think myself and our QA team member are going to leave this year, but no one else really knows that.

I have the chance to work with a start up a previous coworker works at — and I think I should take it. It's a pay cut, though, and not an insignificant one. The catch I guess, is work does profit sharing.. and that's almost like a trap. If you know you can get a large chunk of money at the end of every year if you can just tough it out, it feels like a sunk cost fallacy almost. If you don't find that new job in January, or the first half of the year, it feels like you might as well stay until that bonus comes.

So, I kind of worked out with them that I'll start next year if I pass the interviews... hopefully it works out. scream.

uh oh, it's October 2024 now!!

It's wild to go back and read this draft because two months after drafting this, I accepted the job at the startup, four years ago! We also recruited some folks from my old company after to join us, too.

I can say that four years on I definitely miss the benefits and pay at the prior company, but knowing how it changed I would probably be really depressed and miserable, but I also would probably be rolling in dough if I had stayed.

I don't know if I really love the place I switched to, but I met some amazing people and got to work for a time on a team that had people my age and also lots of women and fellow queer folks. It has changed since then... but I don't know if I totally regret the experience.

Kitchen fun

So I'm in the process of getting the kitchen redone because it's straight up just falling apart in every way, which has been great :F. I am working with a contractor 'cause I am a little handy but I am not that handy. You have to make so many fricken choices about everything and it's super overwhelming, like standing in the jelly aisle of the store and there's like 50 different types of jelly, and you gotta pick which one. I'm mostly just like, damn I just want a useable kitchen. At least so far the professionals i've encountered are pretty decent? Unlike previous projects....

A cerca de uns 3 ou 4 anos descobri o podcast Minuto de Silêncio. É um podcast de humor, cujo o limite é o que for engraçado. Sempre me diverti muito ouvindo ele. Era naquele tipico e manjado formato mesa-de-bar. Formato manjado mas convenhamos, muito bom. Enfim, me diverti escutando ele durante esses 4 anos, me tornei apoiador botando uma fiel graninha ali pra garantir a continuidade do projeto. Gosto desse formato de financiamento, que se não torna o produtor de conteúdo rico, pelo menos ajuda a manter a independência e no mínimo custear o projeto. Infelizmente, o projeto ficou sem graça. O formato mudou, ficaram apenas os dois principais integrantes e o papo acabou sempre descambando pro limite do humor e a crítica sem-graça dos tempos atuais. Como de sem-graça atualmente bastam os fatos, infelizmente me vi procurando outro podcast que me ajudasse a anestesiar o dia-a-dia de pandemia e ansiedade. Cancelei a minha parte do patronato e ainda escuto um episódio ou outro, com muito menos empolgação e diversão que já curti um dia. Não que imaginasse que o projeto fosse durar para sempre, só não imaginava um final tão melâncolico.

Um blog (que coisa mais anos 2000)

Vamos ver onde isso vai dar. Tem algumas coisas que fico com vontade de escrever e não cabem num post do mastodon (http://mastodon.social/rberlim) ou não são figurativos o bastante pra aparecer como foto (http://pixelfed.social/rberlim).

I keep going back and forth on staying with the company I'm with or moving on. I think myself and our QA team member are going to leave this year, but no one else knows that yet.

I have the chance to work with a start up a previous coworker works at — and I think I should take it. It's a pay cut, though, and not an insignificant one. The catch I guess, is current work does profit sharing.. and that's almost like a trap. If you know you can get a large chunk of money at the end of every year if you can just tough it out, it feels like a sunk cost fallacy almost. If you don't find that new job in January, or the first half of the year, it feels like you might as well stay until that bonus comes. But I also realize that I have enough money saved up I could take time away from working — since I live in one of the few US states where you don't get fucked healthcare-wise if you are unemployed... I don't think I'll do it but knowing that's an option kind of makes me feel like I have some kind of option/escape route.

Anyway I guess for now I need to come up with project ideas for python... maybe I'll do some mastodon stuff or something. I dunno. Just have to keep my skills sharp and my options open.

On non work-related things, I actually understood a few words of Finnish reading, of all things, the McDonald's finland site lol. I guess studying a little every day is paying off already!

i’m off on my shit about being worried about being hurt by someone else when I forget how fucking little time there is. someone is dying right. now. now.

now. someone that you will never be able to meet again, someone that you will never meet if you haven’t met them yet. a beautifully sparkling light, a candle, burnt to the end, never to be relit. fuck your fear; life doesn’t have time for it.
