Well,

so the combination of i being cold and you just not like what you were doing was super impactful a writing guinea tests for osten trading. And just for some context, austen does not get very coldho how frequently i snow in austin,

a you kdo actually, once every three years, once every two years, something like that. Deftly snows in austin. Sometimes it gets pretty cold in austen, but yem, it's not cold like chicago. Chicago's like ly cold and windyo, yes.

You don't know anybody in this city. You've been there for five months. It's getting really cold outside. You'r you're seeing the proverbial grass the screener on the other side. You polt, you leave. You resign your position, and you just move back to asson. That's

right. Yes.

What do you do when you hit the ground in asson? Ah,

well, i shacked up with an old poker frienda, my friend sam. And a, you know, sam was a great person to live with. At the time when i was basically out of a job, a, you know, kind of struggling to find out what the hecku is going to be doing. Sam is just this relentlessly positive force. He's a really good engineer. He's not a sophaware engineer. Hes like a civil engineer, but a, you know, i owe him a lot because he was just kind of a, very, you know, like you're the average of the five people that you spent the most time with. And i just started spending all my time with sam. And so he was like relentlessly positive. So that was like very invigorating. You know. I spent a lot of time in austin, like writing music, kind of like letting my savings just sort of dwindle out. And a, and then sort of began desperately looking for jobs around around the united states. That'swhat i didn't austin.
