the real DAY 1 of unemployment: AMAZING

so far i must say unemployment ain't half bad. considering im laying out on the beach working on my tan (the arms covered in sunblock of course) with the waves crashing in the background, the sea breeze keeping me cool and i'm typing away online. at first i thought i'd just work on my resume on my laptop, then i discovered this beach is AMAZING and has wi-fi. i thought i fell in love with life yesterday, i think i just re-fell in love :)

so today was really my first day of unemployment. the morning started off with phil knocking on my door to wake me up. (i didn't want to sleep in, i'd feel like a bum if i did). i'm usually the one waking him up but the tables have turned a bit AND he even made me breakfast. what a nice guy. after a scrumpcious breakfast of rice rolls dipped in soy sauce and a slight hint of chili paste, i said good bye to my brother from another mother and started off my day. filed for unemployment. chatted online for a bit. watched an episode of i love lucy. went for a run to my lake. i tried to do my laundry. but apparently my apartment complex is filled with other unemployed bums who like to do their laundry on monday mornings. who knew monday morning was the new sunday afternoon. as a result i had to wait an hour until two machines cleared up (i like to run them simultaneously, it saves time), but ended up having to do them one at a time. it was rough.

by the time the laundry fiasco was over and i finished another episode of john and kate plus 8 (an very old one i must say), it was time to shower and get ready for my lunch date with ms. judy jung. i met up with judy at mimi's, and had a very nice conversation about her wedding and my current state over a scrumptious lunch of french onion soup and mimi's famous and my favorite walnut and blue cheese salad. mmm...hit the spot

that takes me to where i am now, listening to ingrid michaelson on my ipod, working on my current job as blogger and loving life on the beach. oh yeah, didn't quite get to the resume, but my meter is running out. guess i'll have to save it for another day (probably on the beach). by the way, phil, this really might turn into bumfest 2008 :)
