The horror on my friend’s faces turns my stomach. It only grows when I tell them that I got fired, block-listed, and no one in the industry will take my call. I’m nuclear. I’m not even sure this is a “just hang tight for a while and things will calm down” level DEFCON. I think it might be the DEFCON-IEST of DEFCONS that ever DEFCONNED. Maybe I should have just shut up and taken it.
