As enticing as novel writing to pay the bills sounds, it's not viable at the moment. Questionable in the future considering that the majority of authors don't actually make enough. They have a primary job or a side hustle or a spouse who brings home most of the bacon. We can't all be JK Rowling-King and bring in boatloads of cash.
Ye old job place has been un-ravelling for years and shit hit the fan with COVID in 2020, so here we are. My team has been outsourced and the department is being restructured. By Jan I anticipate I shall be in need of an elsewhere to be.
My resume is updated and now its time to hit the ski slopes of the job market. How depressing. I would prefer to be writing, but, well here I am.
Say a little prayer for me, light a candle, make a sacrifice. Job hunting during Nano. OMG, I still have to figure out how that's going to work out.

They are dangling a vague carrot about a new position to be created, but it's been dangling all year and to be honest I don't trust them at this point. The ship is sinking and they're trying to keep as many knowledgeable people on board as possible. I think they should just start offering retention bonuses, but of course they won't. That would be too sensible.
Oh, well.
