How would I rank today in the top 10 of worst days I ever had?

Good question. I'm gonna thank myself for asking.

I had two major accidents in my life. The first one broke my limbs, the second nearly killed me. So yeah, those two days are worse, we're gonna go with second-worst and worst respectively.

I remember the day I left a job I hated. That was interesting. One day prior to that, I'd been the victim of road range. A few days after, I didn't know that of course, I'd be involved in a freak accident (a tyre exploded) that didn't harm me but wrecked the car I was driving.

And I remember how stressful that last day was.

So yeah that's probably top 3.

What else? I remember the day I was let go from a job I liked.

To be fair, I understand their thinking. It was a crypto job, and it was remote, and it was based in the country that takes financial stuff very seriously.

Long and the short of it, we (the remote team) were becoming a liability, so we were let go. The whole remote team got dismantled.

Was that worse than today? No. A, because ironically I was told that was gonna happen on my way to Paris and B, I understood the reasoning and accepted it.

The day the platform I was working for got dismantled (it's a recurring thing, isn't it?) also ranks pretty high, but still not as bad as today.

But hey, as the Oasis say, it's not the end of the world, it's not even the end of the day.
