Week 2739

The storm has come. On Wednesday, we finally announced a major restructuring at work, which will involve essentially dismantling my team. And I’ll have to find work. There is time to transition, and no need for anyone to panic; the company is doing right by people.

Still, it’s emotional and stressful. I have been almost looking forward to getting past this moment when it becomes known, yet do not feel relief.

On Shannon’s advice I picked up Edward Carey’s Little (literally, a physical hardbound book). It’s a lovely read and I realize I’ve been remiss in not spending enough time with books. Most of my reading time is spent in bed with saved articles on my e-reader, which I value. But it’s different to sit in waking hours and focus on a long narrative. The experience is a bit of a detox.
