Just saw a note about having a "digital go-bag" at work. It would basically be whatever files you need if you were suddenly fired/laid off. Stuff like a portfolio, CV, pay stubs, etc. It's a solid, practical idea but I quite like the analogy in the first place.

IRL go-bags are in case you're facing a natural disaster (i.e. tornados, floods, etc.) and have to leave quickly. There's always weather of some sort going on, but sometimes it gets insanely intense and puts you in immediate danger.

Work is like that too. In a capitalist society, it's just always around, whether you're actively on the job or you're dealing with someone else who's working at the store or restaurant or wherever. Most of the time, it's kind of just always there but sometimes it gets insanely intense and puts you in immediate danger.

It just struck me as an interesting analogy and a way to think about work. It's always there, acting as small talk fodder, and you will periodically get blindside by a whirlwind you didn't expect.
