Plus bonus question: What is a unique, niche little experience near you or that you've been to? There's a place near me known as the Tulip House that's in bloom atm:

You can see plenty of pictures of the flowers online, so here's a picture of some of the cute art they have up accompanying it

My week has been fucking desperate. I got laid off by DOGE. I'm getting radio silence from every place I apply at. I hate this stupid country and I hate that I don't have an option to emigrate out.

I hear that. Ive wanted out for a while myself; i got moved to a different role for a reorg, frankly hate my job at this point.

I'm waiting to hear if I'm approved for DRP; i know damn well I'm redundant and likely to be hit by DOGE, and my severance would be fuck all if I'm let go (I'm barely out of probationary status, so severance might pay bills for a couple months at best)

Fully expect my org to screw me over and try to mark me as "essential" tbh.

I am so, so very sorry to hear that. That really sucks:-(. I hope that you find something you can live with, or even go straight to something good, if you can find it.:-)
