I definitely am going to miss them. I just got back from the most recent (and last one) in a while.
U am glad we can have a connection through hive on the various topics we write about. You, too use words in interesting and unexpected ways. I hope that I can keep my word counts (and quality) up next week when I start my full time job.
I'm about to start scheduling a bit of a mini-backlog that I have typed up over the last few days!

I'm thankful for this connection too.
And I think you will. Also, I doubt it's in the word count, the quality. It seems I've missed a bunch of things on 'chain lately. Apologies. What job are you starting? :) It's good to have a backlog for when you know you'll have a busier period, and I imagine it'll take you a few days to get your bearings ;) Smart move.
It is a full time one. The new office has a gym that is free for staff to use, and a yoga studio (but I don't know if there's classes). Its a 12 month contract, but I intend to become permanent in short order.
It is a new industry for me, so I am starting below the seniority I had in my previous role, but I do not mind. In the interview, I told them I wanted a job that meant I could sleep at night, and make individual impact, instead of the more abstract stuff I was doing at my prior workplace.
I am positive about it, and now that I have it, I can get on with the business of saving for my retirement, but with that, came the news yesterday that my wife's job is being replaced by a machine - so that won't happen at the same rate we anticipated, but she will find something.
So it is a bit of swings and roundabouts, emotionally - but you'll notice I haven't told you what I will be doing. I want to keep quiet about it until I can make sure that I am capable of doing it - which they seem pretty sure of - and... one of the upcoming posts is a little bit about the process of getting it :)
Well, thank you for telling me about it without telling me :) I honestly hope you enjoy it! Very prudent thing, about making an individual impact, it seems a lot of people struggle with that.
I'm sorry to hear about your wife's job - awful stuff. I'm sure she'll find something soon - hopefully something she also enjoys. And hope it's not too hard of a blow (it can be a mindfuck, knowing a machine is now doing your job esp. if you were good at it and enjoyed it and so on...).
Enjoy yourself! :)
I just came back to this conversation to say thanks :) I had a really nice conversation with a writer friend that helped me flesh out an idea I've been going back and forth lately. Maybe our chat earlier inspired it (it's still the same day for me, so they seem connected) :)
