[SOLVED] Ongoing status updates with new UI for Gear Isolation

So what has changed? Well, I have resigned from my stable incoming paying (and great working relationship) job and hope to move to a new company that is a lot closer to home.

Today is my last day with my current job. I love this job, but it takes 26+ minutes to get to work, and 48+ minutes to get home. My wife work part time so those days I have to pick up the Mrs and it will be too late for me to work on Snakeoil on those days. Also, as the work ramps up I will have to work more hours to finish the project.

Effectively if I continue with this job I will have no time to work on Snakeoil. Sure I will earn a lot of money if I stayed, but there'll be little time until Christmas.

So what did I do? I have resigned from my current work and hope to work in a new company that's closer to home. The hourly pay is higher too (just over what I got back in the mining hay days), but being a new environment, there's a lot of uncertainty also. I am confident in my work, however do not forget COVID-19 is always going a wildcard. Besides, I think there's some contractual hurdles yet to be ironed out.

If I land this new job, the shorter travel time means I will have more time to work on Snakeoil. If the new employment don't pan out, I will have even more time! So it's a win/win for Snakeoil regardless.

Six months employment but asked to stay for 2 weeks (instead of the typical one week). It's a sign that I'm a valued contributor Blush . For folks who are into the NBA, effectively I have done a Dennis Schröder, aka made a big bet on myself.

Apologies if this post makes little sense. I had to write this in a hurry. Basically I have resigned and will work elsewhere in about a week's time with a much shorter commute if everything goes to plan.

Edit: Forgot the most important bit. I will be signing out of my personal accounts on the work computer so will be offline for a while (probably until tomorrow). Happy listening until then!
