Yeah I'm good thanks Kat, hope you are too. That job I quit was back in 2009, and I've had lots of good work experiences since then, so not much residual feelings left from that. I've had a couple of slightly iffy workplaces in the past, and they were valuable for recognizing certain things to avoid. A certain swagger that management had, that I've learned to recognize.
For me, current anxieties are a combination of being an immigrant with a small child to care for, working remotely for clients I've never even met, that creates a perfect combo of insecurities that seem to peak in the late evening. And then the next morning it's all sweet again, it's nuts. But I reckon I've got this thing wired now, with a bit of help from a cognitive psych therapist.
I'm sure this is a very common thing with remote developers.
Though I think I'd better get off my butt and start networking, going to more conventions, meetups etc, because a purely remote connection with other developers just feels way to virtual!
