Got laid off 5/22. Looking forward to freelancing. I'm tired of losing a job every few years.

Yes, it's making all the things I need a lot cheaper and humbling many around me. So it's been good to me in a way.

I was laid off, it's cool though.
My brother is in construction, a year ago there was 40 people at his company and since Monday there is 7!

yeah, the price of living in japan sky-rocketed for me when the pound almost halved. has been steadily on the recovery this year though.
work-wise, fortunately it's been ok.
