Plum and garlic "spare ribs" (tofu) + make your own plum sauce, if you must

I’ve been working for the last three years at a place that is truly terrible. It has been spared the title of “worst place I’ve ever worked” just because I always got paid on time (and not in cash), and my boss never called me after hours to scream at me. It was a different sort of terrible. For the last two years I was, more or less, my own boss. This sounds great, I guess, to some people who are not me, but I do not have an entrepreneurial spirit. At work, I would much rather just be told what to do. Also, the real downside of this is that my last day is Wednesday and nobody in my team has like… said “bye, we’ll miss you,” which would have been nice to hear even if it wasn’t true. Anyway, I got laid off (boo) but because I’m union (yay) we negotiated a great severance (extra celebration) so I am going to be traveling for like a month and a half starting in early February. I’m terrified, because my goal for my professional life has always been “stably doing something that isn’t hurting the world” but for the foreseeable future I will be un-stably doing nothing except running out the clock on my COBRA payments and hoping I get a new job before my severance runs out, and also I guess going abroad for a longish time, mostly to see pro-wrestling, but also maybe to improve my Korean, idk.
