I resent that I have been diligently paying my rent from savings this whole time, even since I lost my job in December, while so many people are avoiding that by gaming the system. Not to speak of anyone who legitimately needs rent assistance or the moratorium.

He was testing you. Possible inferiority complex in the face of whatever your legitimate reason was.

I left a good salary at a tech startup late last year. The pressure to perform at home, from a boss screaming over Zoom, made me realize that I've had enough of that rodeo.

Burning through savings in a big city, so I might get a part-time job, but for the moment, I am enjoying waking up well-rested.
