my first day of unemployment
my last day of work was tuesday. but since i had already taken wednesday off, and thursday and friday were holidays, i claimed today as my first official day of being unemployed. i was thinking of celebrating by live-blogging (also a way to stay busy) but that would not be interesting for anyone at all. but the day was kind of a massive fail, so maybe you would possibly be interested in how it all went down. moral of the story: having nothing to do all day is not as much fun as you think it would be!
9 am - alarm goes off (yay for sleeping in!)
9:15-10:15 - spend a few minutes switching between the third hour of the today show (horrible) and regis and kelly (awful). settle on the food network, which airs infomercials until 9:30. these are things that i must learn, now that i have all this time on my hands
10:40 - arrive at the gym 10 minutes late for the total body conditioning class i was hoping to take. also, the women's locker room is closed. fantastic. i run for awhile on the treadmill until my foot starts hurting.
11:45-1 pm - visit the park slope branch of the brooklyn public library. learn that i need to bring a piece of mail to get a library card. sit and mooch free internet for awhile.
1:30 - make a barnes & noble stop. pick up a "websites for dummies" book and cruise for christmas presents
2 p.m. - pick up lunch and reinvigorating coffee at my favorite bagel shop in the slope
2:30 - 6 p.m. - eat lunch and catch up on my dvr. mostly just watched starter wife. showered, dropped on laundry, spent too much time trying to set up new blackberry and calling t-mobile. also sent some emails in the hopes of drumming up possible jobs.
6:30-7:30 - waste too much time waiting around t-mobile, but leave with my blackberry still not functioning (long story). when i leave, it starts to rain, so i make a stop at a gourmet market for essentials: expensive cheese and gelato. i may be unemployed, but i don't have to live on ramen just yet.
8 p.m. -1 a.m. - make and eat dinner (and cheese), and catch up on my monday night tv: gossip girl, samantha who? and the hills. then eat gelato until i feel very, very sick.
see? not very interesting. plus, i walked all over park slope, spent over an hour at the gym, and got rained on. and almost had a breakdown over a blackberry. on deck for tomorrow: more t-mobile fun, another trip to the library and a trek to that other island: manhattan. woo!
