    My department has been cut recently (no link to covid) and that mean the job I've been doing for almost 20 years now will be over in 2 weeks.
    That's a huge change for the anxious person that I am. The positive side is that i work for a government agency and we have a union, so they have to try to find me another job within the company. I have a test to do next week to become a graphic designer. Iam super nervous.
    Well... Actually, what I want to tell you is that my daily life is going to change a lot and that also mean its highly likely that I won't be able to visit QBN on the job like I used to do, since forever... So you guys wont see me that often anymore. I will probably surf QBN in the evening when iam at home :-/

    • i could really use a Bennn-spalation for what you just wrote!
      Kidding, sorry man. hope they find you another job.
