Man, that's a nice read to kickstart the week! I love the raw format, it communicates well what we can go through in our professional life. And it's great to see you two standing up for both of your futures. I sincerely wish you both the best in the future!
That being said, it must be agonizing to go to work every Mondays with that kind of view on your week-ends. ;D
It was a pleasure sharing it. I hope there are some useful takeaways in there.
Madwish: A total kick in the balls every morning to drive through this bay area. Zero traffic, sometimes awesome surf, birds chirping, absolute ballache!

It's a lovely place when it's not trying to blow you away of threatening to shake itself into the sea.
I kinda envy your ability to just move to whichever country suits you. That's.... way too scary for me.
I think you made the right call about Los Angeles though. I live there and it's not the best city for people that aren't making crazy amounts of money, at least if you want to own a house. Everyone seems to be struggling here. It's a hard city to thrive in.
I think with healthcare you probably could have made it work with a proper insurance plan though. Still not easy to deal with or pay for.
In any case, I bet you'll have an amazing time in NZ! Enjoy the nature!
I only read this now, but thanks for sharing this, I was curious about what happened for some time (after your stream had been down for months) and here I found it. Your writing is really gripping. It's funny, because I've been watching all the Hobbit behind the scenes lately (which are great) and thought of you guys working there, kind of the other way around : ) Man I can't think of any better job, congratulations!

WETA seems like a sweet place
