I remember two years ago standing in my office, discussing the crazy epidemic Wuhan, China was experiencing with my officemates, wondering how they were going to cope with it.

Never once imagining what was coming, including, for me, a layoff.

Now, we’re discussing crazy events in another far-off city, Kiev, Ukraine, wondering how they’ll deal with it.

Suddenly, it occurs to me that maybe I should be wondering what’s coming for me here.
