GLAD

- Grateful: randomly, i know several people, unrelated, who lost
  their jobs yesterday. i am grateful for temporary stability and the
  ability to earn an income, while knowing that that can change at
  any time

- Learning: i learned some work process yesterday, and now know this
  particular flow start to finish. that feels good

- Accomplished: i got 2 things done at work. woo

- Delight: i am delighted by the game Saturday Edition on the
  playdate. surreal point-and-click evocative of old lucasarts
  scummvm games with some novel mechanics and a layered mystery that
  is really capturing my imagination and my fancy.

my ability to be productive in this time of uncertainty?

deception, ruin. It is a card in particular of unforeseen
catastrophe.

there is nearly nothing in the world that you can control
other than your own thoughts and actions
you cannot prevent somebody from giving you a bad review
or from eliminating your job
or even from trying to disparage your reputation
all you can do is diligently maintain your integrity
do the things you say you will do
and try to do work you can feel proud of
just focus on the stuff you can do
and the stuff you can control
the calamity is ultimately as indifferent as the weather
it's how well you endure it that matters
