@nikolatesla I've been here just short of a year, which is why it was odd he made such a big todo about it

@ClemFrieckie I wish he gave me the option of leaving today, no hard feelings. It just feels awkward being here now.

@mrAlx I honestly don't know if I'm fired. I kind of plan to just bullshit at my desk until I leave, and see if he comes up to me and says that. I'm so confused. I need a more adulty adult right now.

@stryter I know. I almost started crying on the train when I saw the email saying I landed this gig. I just have to stay off DevRant and HN for 90 days at the new gig during my probation period, but its so much more worth than staying here. I hate this job so much.

I'm taking a paycut for better benefits (they're really awesome!!!!) and a shorter commute that doesn't make me want to throw myself in front of the train. I'm so happy. I had victory pizza and adult beverages tonight.

This is my life trying to clean up the technical debt left by the last dev.

It's 2017, who uses tables for layouts?

Nailed it, I think!

I think we work at the same job.

There's dozens of us!

@dalastTomCruise step 1 for fixing the problem is hire another web developer that can teach me.

@dalastTomCruise I already have. I'm the junior in this story. I posted a rant last week after getting yelled at for not working fast enough and having a nervous breakdown over it

@dalastTomCruise That we don't have a contract for yet! And maybe hire more people, but we just fired half the staff 3 months ago...and again, they can't promise jobs come November. I am rethinking life choices right now.

@polaroidkidd he wasn't an intellij user. He just used a text editor.

@polaroidkidd he was a pythonista. So he's a spaces guy.

One of my closest friends made PiPlay. He regularly has kit Kickstarters

@ILMostro it's super unfun as a junior with no one to talk to.

I'll take your recruiter calls! I hate my job.

I remember table hell. However, centering a div makes me rethink life choices

Thank you everyone. I really needed this. Right now, I sort of need the paycheck and I need the insurance. I'm taking a WFH mental health day after a small break down last night. I'm applying to every job I meet a requirement for. I also have a prospect at UCF, and hope I hear good news from that soon.

Do you work at my job?

I live one town over from this girl.

@nickhh especially on a Friday night.

@AlgoRythm I live in palm beach and commute to FTL. Super small world!

@TechnoTrumpet I have rats. Rats are smarter and love more than cats.

@Biggy my first internship was maintaining a vb6 codebase. I left after a month.

Replace EDM with melodic death metal and it's more or less my programming flow.

@its1984 I need that sticker. Where did you get it?

I have bipolar disorder. In my depressive episodes, everything is terrible and hard. The meds and therapy help greatly, but it's sort of like treating a cold with DayQuil. It makes the day bearable, but doesn't fix the problem.

@feynman is very right. Take a walk. Do something small. I find doing something that's an "easy win" greatly improves my mood. Go out and get coffee, take a shower. Try to find a friend to spend the day with. I know first hand how hard it seems, but it's worth it once you do it.

Stay strong, don't let it win.

@SnyderL I don't remember how much, but these are from the Pokémon Center store.
