Black Monday

So here is the update, I didnt get the job I wanted. I was not happy on this day, which will live in infamy known as Black Monday.

I was so hopeful for this job, and anxious to be part of a team again. I deeply believed that this was my ticket to see some tangible change.

But, as Lenon sang, 'Life is what happens, when you're busy making other plans'. So what now? I will admit I stressed ate a burrito. We are facing

dark times. March 15th is when the official word out went to self quarantine because of the coronavirus. So to say the least, the tech market

has placed a freeze on hiring. So not only am I unemployed, but there are barely any tech companies hiring.

I am trying to stay busy. There are plenty of projects to work on. So i believe if I change my attitude a smile will later come to graze my face.

Its hard, I feel so much opposition and it is getting even harder to trust the process and the journey. Impostor syndrome is slowly setting in.

Much like with downhill longboarding, those who stay down after a fall are deemed never to succeed and live a life full of regret. So I am choosing to

get back up. This was a huge emotional blow, and the uncertainty of COVID-19 is not helping my situation. However, my parents, my family, and myself have

sacrificed to much for me to throw in the towel.

Let it be writen that things got tough for me, they have been tough, yet I still got back up. I took a punch week after week but I presevered.

I chose to trust the process and ignore the voice that calls me an impostor. So that one day I can reflect back and be proud of what I accomplished.

I just hope its soon, but beggars can't be choosers. So who knows when my day to prove myself will come. So I must diligently prepare.

Till next time, I am hoping to write a positive experience. Cheers future Guillermo, sincerely from past Guillermo.
