My story is honest, but not perfect. What you like, take. What you don't, neglect.


No. 1 - Spend more time working from home than office. All the things I could've done, ppl seen, places been.


No. 2 - Remote hype, down the wrong pipe. Ignored rumors about lack of glamours.


No. 3 - Drew a line. Did the math. Volatility vs. stability. More money. Even more time without work. Net negative.


No. 4 - Pandemic times two. Used to say welcome to my world. More inside than outside even after it was safe.


No. 5 - Had a blast, but it didn't last. Returning to the office you must. (Yoda)


No. 6 - In tech we trusted. Busted. AI makes me wanna cry.


No. 7 - So tragic all major freelance platforms went public. Shareholders more important than clients and projects.


No. 8 - So frustrated that the market became oversaturated.


No. 9 - Future of work is a pitchfork. Skillful hands in demands. So many streamers, very few plumbers.


No. 10 - To be everywhere is to be nowhere. Digital nomads with fastfood or Zoom friends.


No. 11 - Mental health is wealth. Reality is the only thing that is real (Ready Player One).


No. 12 - Kiss me like you miss me (Deadpool). How could I miss you when you're always around, dear.


No. 13 - Home sweet home. Under the dome.
