Still got a job? 💸

I've lost my job several times. One company closed down; one project got outsourced to Belarus (when it was only a dodgy dictatorship, not a political pariah); one company ran out of work, cut my pay, and sent me on a project far from home, then was surprised that I left, but it felt like constructive dismissal. There was only one time when I was got rid of for being useless (don't make me do admin work).

Today there was an unexpected department meeting. Uh-oh. Those are never good. Redundancies were announced. Surprise! I wasn't on the list.
