I&#x27;m truly sorry to hear that.<p>I don&#x27;t see why narcolepsy should be a problem, especially in our area. I mean sure, meetings and stuff like that might be harder to do, but our industry is&#x2F;should be lenient to things like office hours. There have been tons of times where I go to the office at &quot;late hours&quot; (e.g. 1+ PM), and as long as I turn in my deliverables on time (or let my lead know I won&#x27;t be able to), there is no issue.<p>So again, very sorry to hear that.<p>Also, if I may, I would like to give you the following suggestion.<p>What about, instead of porting something and then writing about it for the PR, why not take the lowest hanging fruit you can find and do some local web dev&#x2F;mobile dev, even if you only get a small fraction of the money you need each month.<p>I am saying this not without reason. I have a friend that is doing bad financially, and doing only one gig that got him around 1k USD (different country and situation of course, but at the current exchange rate, it&#x27;s about that amount) gave him some hope.<p>And the thing is that he got a big relief when he saw with his own eyes that he could basically turn code into money. Not enough money necessarily, but at least some amount. That in turn lowered his stress and things started to look less bleak.<p>Just to tell a bit of his situation: he has kids and a wife that for medical reasons as well, can&#x27;t work, so he is the sole wage earner at home. His job is very likely going to end soon, and has about 1 month runway.<p>So just in case you check back the comments, and if you are willing to take some random advice from a random guy on the Internets, why not try this? Just take a gig, very very simple one you can find through friends, your local laundromat&#x2F;liquor store&#x2F;etc, family, that consists of doing a simple but sleek-looking webpage or something very low hanging-fruity, and after you get your first few bucks, rinse and repeat.<p>Hopefully the boost in morale will be enough to get you to try maybe a bigger gig, etc, or at least buy you some time while you get to find another job.<p>Sorry if this is of no use to you, since I know that this route might not afford you the medical care you need and that definitely sucks. But I truly feel you and I was hoping I could chip in at least a very very minor idea in case it&#x27;s helpful in any way.<p>Not sure what else to say except to try to keep going as hard as you can, and that I can definitely lend an ear if you are so inclined (let me know and I can send you an email or something). If not, I sincerely hope things get better soon.
