    My wife is a mental mess with her job. I'm overworked as fuck but I don't care enough. She's a carer and a worrier so it's been a struggle. She can't transition to anything because she's terrible at valuing her job-related experience and finding something she likes. She also has better benefits than I've seen since pre-ACA. 

    sorry to hear about this. work stress can do a real number on a person or a couple for that matter. gotta keep the main thing the main thing. 

  2. not exactly concerned with red flags. I could get back on the same horse with my resume. it’s just soul sucking and not what I want to do anymore (hasn’t been for a long time). I’m fortunate to have always shunned debt & planned/invested so we’re not under the gun financially. also being married to a supportive spouse with a solid job herself is a plus. 

    I’m looking for something new and challenging. I’ve got a leadership background so the people skills are there (outside of twitter and hockey boards). going the tech route would give me a different baseline altogether. it fits my profile and I love the idea of possibly working remotely and being easily relocatable.

    what Google is doing appears pretty bold. they’re partnering with over a hundred companies to feed them new workers who have specifically switched careers for this. I feel like if they can help me get my foot in the door I can use my previous experience to move up on a team and add value.

  3. binged the first 5 episodes last night and I like the show just fine but can’t stand the main character or the slutty lady. it’s like an overly dramatic screaming anime come to life with both of them and it’s annoying as fuck. 

  4. quit my job during COVID after 18yrs. it served me and my family well but it was time. I had a transition plan but it didn’t exactly pan out so I’m underemployed for now. no complaints though, the adjustment has perks like less stress and an actual work/life balance. basically less death and less taxes. 

    anyway with workforce shortages across the board I’m sure many people in the same boat. earlier this year Google put out a handful of certification programs to help people transition careers without previous experience in an attempt to fill some of the needs out there. I’m a fairly tech savvy number cruncher so I’m eyeballing the data analytics course. (not exactly hockey related as I still have a soft spot for grit and Blais’ bad penalties in the offensive zone). 

    shot in the dark here if anyone’s familiar with the Google offerings or maybe going through a similar career shift right now with some success. I have questions. 🙂
