Same job, same money - for now, different title (under-minion)
Sounds like someone in upp. man. needed to make a space for their friend's kid, but didn't want to fire anyone. This could be a blessing.
Worse thing was the lack of sleep.
Had this last week. Fever, cough, chills, no sleep. The worst thing for me was the fever, as I literally could not read or watch a screen. I just sat there during the day, mentally torturing myself with all my life's mistakes. I also had to work through it too, since I'd asked my boss for a few days to work on a side project with a different group and it'd taken me weeks/months to convince him to say yes. Worst of all, I did not know I had covid, I just thought it was a Flu because none of the lateral flows registered positive. Fast forward to yesterday where I saw a faint streak on two of the tests.
I'm in a state now where I'm not sure whether I *had* covid last week and now I'm on the recovery stage, or if I had the Flu last week and am now about to have covid. Fun times.
Glad you are on the up ~tetris.
