I've no idea how this crisis actually plays out.

This is a crisis. A large crisis. In fact, if you got a moment, it's a twelve-storey crisis with a magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24-hour portage, and an enormous sign on the roof, saying 'This Is a Large Crisis'. A large crisis requires a large plan. Get me two pencils and a pair of underpants.

(Blackadder quote from series 4)

My 20s were the pinnacle of my life. Career was taking off, met my first wife ... then the layoffs started in journalism.

That honestly sounds so crazy to me. If I didn't know other people who have had similar experiences, I would say that's a fantasy lol!

I was running a paper at 24 without a degree. You couldn't do that now.
