I'm pretty certain most of my work inevitably ends up being related to a time issue

Ah, well, blessing in disguise then. For a good chunk of time software engineers were in demand. For whatever reason, I can't remember if it was embedded or application level though.

That's one thing I appreciate about Lemmy. Without a doubt you are all people of logic.

One of the things that wasn't too high up on my complaints but I have the opportunity to complain now about: I had a serious plan ready to apply to immigrate to Canada. I'm in Software, I was learning French, financially sound and healthier.
