Yesterday one of my boss said if we can't get the project working, he will shutdown it. And someone implies to us that once the project is shutdown, someone will lose the job.
I'm not being scared by such things, since, if you know, it's not my first time being unemployment, and now my financial situation is much better*, and I don't have a family to feed. Not to mention I don't think I'm gonna be fired, at least I wrote code with decent quality and didn't shit in the codebase.
Anyway, it's hard to resist the temptation to imagine what I will do after being fired. And I'm actually being flirted by the idea. And now I'm bereft, only a little bit though. After all it's my passion for money that keeps me working when there is no joy from the work. (Although I love programming, not everyday of work is enjoyable)

*: One month of work allows me to pay 20 months of my rent, thanks to the power of foreign exchange. And I also have to thank myself for moving from Beijing to Kunming. If I were renting in Beijing, one month of work will only pay 3 months of rent.
