I’d quit my previous job after I developed burnout syndrome, and had gone back to living with my parents in order to recuperate. After a while, my unemployment insurance ran out and I figured I’d better start looking for another job. I’d left my last job because it sucked up every scrap of energy I had until there was not a shred left, but at the same time, I sensed that hanging around doing nothing forever probably wasn’t the answer either.
