Here I sit on my first Monday of unemployment... yep, I got my walkin' papers last Thursday, and after a delightful 'layoff lunch' at Bella's with my SMR peeps, I was left with forty hours of freedom per week.
Of course, those forty hours of freedom happen to have one major flaw... forty hours of NO paycheck.
No worries... I'm hoping, crossing my fingers and toes, and doing the occasional voodoo dance, that they'll hire me back when they get busy in the Spring. Yes, I may get the chance to return to the joys of boys in Carharts (yum), recipies for cooking squirrels and gravy (not yum), performing the 'speed pee' in hopes that nobody opens the unlockable bathroom door, and laughing my ass off at the wicked humor swirling through the office.
Until then however, I think I'll throw myself into home improvement and Jamie improvement.
The home improvement part includes scrubbing, scraping, patching, painting, and tiling... aw heck, what else do I have to do?
And the Jamie improvement began today with my first hour in the gym at Memorial. I used it years ago, and since it's absolutely FREE for Memorial families, I figured what the heck. Fat roll be gone!
So, let it begin... where is my screwdriver? I've got some thirty year old curtains that I've been dying to take down... here goes nothin'!
;)
You are certainly one to enjoy your unemployment! Good luck on your improvements.

You may even get a call from the Board of Education so you can really use your hard earned education and talent. Good tidings await you.

Thinking of you - after just going through seven months of this myself I know how tough it is. Look on indeed.com and send me an email if you want to see other online locations.
