Inspired by another thread I saw recently. For this thread, I have two parts to this. What are you grateful for:

  • on Beehaw? - Anything you like about this community, an interaction you appreciated, something that brightened your day, an aspect of site culture that appeals to you, etc.

  • offline/in real life? - Just more generally, what are you thankful for? Anything that's happened in your life recently that has turned out to be good, people making a positive difference in your life, etc.

That's good to know! I also just had a friend tell me about networking and how nepotism just works that way. I understand that people are more inclined to work with someone they know at some level instead of a complete stranger.

I've been lying low lately because migrating to another country is a struggle and I really just have to break that barrier of anxiety to get myself out there. Also, there's another wall with not knowing how to drive in a car centric city and a very limited amount of money.

I just finished building my resume last night and it's time to send them to whomever will accept it. Starting a new chapter like this feels so nerve wracking, I'm not gonna lie
