I've been in the printing industry for nearly a decade, with zero gaps between jobs. Was at my most recent since 2018.
Unfortunately, due to poor budgeting and two cyber attacks, on top of a slow season, I was caught in the crossfire of a small wave of layoffs.
Decided to take a break from working and try to build up my other stuff -- streaming, making music, making videos, etc.
I do have a paypal and a patreon if anyone's interested in supporting me during this time. I don't expect, but do appreciate.
Who knows, maybe I'll be able to go full time with content creation in one form or another. A pipe dream.
