does anyone actually listen to the recruiter’s voicemail, take notes, and/or call them back? or do you (like me) think “i wish this was an email with a full job description i could read in its entirety myself”

this time between jobs has given me an interesting perspective — i’m thinking things like “ooh, i can attend that (virtual) conference now!” but in reality, i SHOULD be able to do that even when i have a job.

there’s no question i was burned out. the security & compliance pivot made it way worse. i never really had a break, for years.
it’s been so long since i felt 100%. today, i sit down at my desk and look forward to building things.
now, i need to to get paid to do it again. 😄

it’s taken a month and a half for me to decompress, unwind, and actually get back to enjoying dev again. the routine of my kids being back in school has helped (not to mention some quiet in the house - we went 543 days with them home). i have so much i want to learn too!

My kids are going back to in-person learning this year.
It’s been 543 days since neither my wife nor I are supervising our kids.

i’m so past wanting to dunk on people who are following junk science. they have been duped by politically motivated actors.
i want them to be well. i want them to trust the chorus of legitimate scientific voices advocating for their wellness. for their own sake and all of ours.
