Being unemployed and having a lot of free time on your hands might sound nice to you and believe me for the most part it is, however, it really forces you to look at your day in a different way.
Your accomplishments and daily tasks change from having to perform in the workplace to getting excited about the little things you do in your daily useless travels.
Let’s talk about the things I’ve accomplished today for example.
My greatest accomplishment= Politely and calmly asserting myself to the annoying SOB’s at Bell Canada who call every day at the same time. Every day when I see their number I usually hang up without even saying anything, then a light bulb hit me today. Why not just tell them to take our name off the list rather than being just as ignorant to them as they are to us? The girl said she would take us off the list. Now if that isn’t an accomplishment I don’t know what is. I tried to be nice about it, I swear. If they call tomorrow though no more Mr. Nice guy.
Other accomplishments:
I worked out twice today but that is slowly turning into my every day routine. If this unemployment thing keeps up I am going to be the buffest chick you know. Well… I never have been huge per say but my chicky legs might just decide to peace out on me and buff up.
I watched the worst Kirsten Dunst movie on the planet also known as Crazy/Beautiful. Words can’t describe how icky I felt after watching this chick flick gone wrong and the end result of me watching Kirsten strut around with greasy hair and bad clothing left me needing a long shower. Which brings us to our next accomplishment… I took a shower. hahaha. Okay so that isn’t an accomplishment but I feel better about watching that movie now at least.
(This is the trailor for the movie. I just wanted you to get an idea of just how greasy she is in this movie. Remind me to lay off the conditioner for a few weeks.)
I feel like I’m on the verge of getting a job so I need to enjoy my days of nothingness but I always have been someone who enjoys keeping busy. What good are weekends if we can’t earn our way towards them?
How can you be unemployed in this economy!?
I think they even pay like $15 at McDonald’s these days, but I think you’re a lot like my unemployed friends these days – you need to suck in the pride even if you have x education (x=fill in the blank). Everyone goes through “frictional” unemployment, but guess what – sitting around and tidying up the flowers on the table doesn’t pay the rent!
I’d rather be employed getting A wage flipping burgers rather the big ZERO. Unfortunately, I can’t say I’ve had to flip burgers – I say unfortunately because I’ve gone through WAY worse jobs than that – try plumbing and you’ll have a new appreciation for the service or retail jobs.
As one of my former bosses told me, “it’s easier to find a job when you have a job.” Good luck.
