One of my ex-colleagues reached out to me today to ask if I want a contractor job at his new place. He must’ve heard about our latest round of cuts announced on 8th November, and maybe wondered about my job security, or if I had been let go. I was really touched by his concern and gesture, because I didn’t really know him that well, although I like and respect him. We’ve worked together briefly on some projects, and I apparently scared him at the start, but he likes my direct style, and I think he’s astute, and like his low bullshit approach too. A common friend said that he and I the same – both autistic, lol.

I’m going for dental surgery (bone graft) tomorrow. I’m a bit scared and nervous. But hopefully it will be alright. I took the sedation option because of my dental phobia. A friend will meet me before the procedure, then after again, to bring me home. Apparently the effects of the sedation might take 24 hours to wear off…
