The last few days have been nerve wracking while waiting for the ISP decision.
The next few days are going to be worse.

One word: Disassociation
@OP some entertaining comments on your thread. Well done. 😀
It’s important to take one’s thoughts in hand and not allow them to run away with us. I am focused on counting my blessings - my many blessings - and the beautiful years I spent at the firm. There are so many good memories of good people and good work.
Nothing in life is guaranteed. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one. Today is really all we have, so it does no good to worry about what will or won’t happen.
John O’Leary would say to tell the people we care about, “I love you”. I’m doing that. And petting my dog - who loves me unconditionally. Ted taught me that.
@OP Bourbon and cigars while I can still afford them lol
@OPn since the weather is going to be nicer for the next week. Getting fresh air and a mini road trip would be good.
@OP I have cancer, so I’m concentrating on getting treatment and getting better.
@a1 very good approach. As for me, I’m spending time with what matters to me, so in my case it’s experiences with family. Also taking time for my own hobbies after work hours.
The chips will fall as they may and the initial light at the end of the tunnel is almost here.
I am also planning to start job searching after I find out the news next week. A lot of good talent is going to leave the firm.
I’m just doing what is expected of me this week. Not falling behind, but also not putting in effort.
Outside of work, doing as much “me” time as possible. Not taking on any major projects around the house. Just doing the basic things, but also spending most of my time reading, biking, watching TV, etc.
It’s hard.
