Title: Hello HN, I just learned that we are going to have a baby, but I&#x27;m just so burnt out at my job. I can barely afford my health insurance, and now we are looking at adding a dependent, there&#x27;s just no way. I&#x27;ve been here since 2012, and I&#x27;ve never felt like I wasn&#x27;t <i>just</i> about to be fired.<p>And this baby is going to be here, like, imminently. It&#x27;s always been my dream to be a dad, and now I realize how laughably unprepared I am to be bringing somebody into this world.  I can barely do my job, and now, it&#x27;s so, so serious.  I can&#x27;t quit my job, I can&#x27;t take time to look for another job, I can&#x27;t _do_ my job.<p>When it was just &quot;me&quot; in the world, I could afford to be cavalier and take chances, but now I feel completely dependent on a group of people that demonstrably DNGASFF about me.<p>I&#x27;m not a fast talker, my resume looks like shit, the only thing I know how to do is program, and we&#x27;re about to have a baby.  What do I do?
