I am good, switched careers/roles again. My startup where I was working as a tech project manager went suddenly bankrupt in late 2019 and I had to work without pay for 3-4 months, and they kind of held our backpay hostage on us. It was a very ****ed up situation, but I got to go to chicago in the dead of winter so that was kind of a cool experience.
So then I was unemployed for like 5 weeks right as covid was starting and got a job at a large, pretty successful company as a devops engineer. I started the day the lockdowns began, never set foot in the office. I get to hack stuff all day and work with other legit hackers. It's fun and I'm learning a lot, even though my boss can be a little bit of a dickhole at times and the job can get tedious. I'm also administrating a website (a forum) on the side. I'm also mentoring a kid who also lost his father at a young age to cancer and I'm teaching him how to program. I have a big crush on his 23 year old sister. So all in all quite busy.
I spent about 4 months holed up in my house during the peak of covid, so that wasn't too fun, but during that time I lost nearly 40 lbs and got my head in a really great place despite all the craziness in the world right now. I feel happier and more successful than I've ever been, and since I got my vaccine 2 weeks ago, I am looking forward to life returning normal again. Going to go to vegas as soon as I'm 2 weeks cleared of my second pfizer dose.
