    • Holy crap, man.

        • It's hard to think about and plan for because it is vaguely in the future, be it tomorrow or a few years from now. Nothing is in stone yet, I just know it will happen eventually and I got to figure out some plans. Who knows, the pay could just not be worth it, or they just say no. The low stress I got now is amazing and that's going to be hard to let go of.

          It feels like its the first "adult" job where I go to an office and do boring office stuff instead of literally running 3 peoples worth of calls. I do 0-6 tickets instead of 30-100. I basically am doing a 10th of the work at twice the pay of the last job. That's jarring enough on its own.
