Confused update, after hours near the bike rack and I’m in a store associate seat; after a hiring freeze email hit me harder than expected. My calendar is full of 'alignment' blocks and somehow none of them answer basic questions. I’ve been documenting wins in my notes app because I keep forgetting what I shipped. Someone mentioned ticket D-6256 as a reference point, but I can’t tell what it actually means. Does this usually settle down after a couple weeks, or does it keep spiraling? Drop advice, reality checks, or even just commiseration.
