Thank you both!
Daggi, I've missed you! Is your Internet still acting up?
Do you love working from home?! I do.
It seems like you don't, though? Also, what kind of dance do you teach?
The dinner/get together went pretty well! Not nearly as awkward or uncomfortable as I expected. People were pretty open with me about what had been going on, so that was nice. I can tell they're all super stressed lately, though, which makes me a little sad for them (but sooo happy for myself to have gotten out when I did, TBH.) I miss the people there - it's a small business and it was kind of like a little family. I've never experienced another job like that before. But I do NOT miss working there. So it was nice to see them, and know that I don't have to go back to work, at the same time.
Maybe I'm terrible...
