As a side note I will try NOT to print out anything for future reference. I stare into a blue recycling bin full of supposedly important copies of whatever seemed it required copying and I never referred back to. TREE KILLER!!! I should plant a tree somewhere in our yard to make up for my paper waste. I mean, it's not like I won't have TIME to do it.
And that gets me to the point, I finally announced to the few employees remaining in the office that I would be departing and they all asked, "...well, what are you going to do?" and my reply was, I haven't come up with anything yet other than find some recruiters and start sending out resumes. After the conversations concluded and it was quiet at my new desolate and no longer familiar work station that I was losing my job but gaining something I haven't had in a long time. Time. My mind was quickly flooded with all those strange things you see and think, 'gee, that would be cool, if I only had TIME'. So I am creating an initial list of things to do while unemployed to keep my mind off of being unemployed until I find myself re-employed.
- Go to a casting cattle call for local film productions just for the heck of it (who knows, they may pick me to stand in the background as an extra for a day or two).
- Go to the gym in the middle of the day and exercise v e r y slowly.
- Ride my motorcycle in a direction and don't stop until I get somewhere, then keep riding.
- Enter my dog in some dog shows and try to handle him myself.
- Finish cataloging and copyrighting my music
- Actually REHEARSE.
- Vocals
- Guitar
- Bass
- Drums
- Clarinet
- Sit on the back deck and stare at the lake and write poetry
- Paint something
- Take advantage of the museum FREE DAYS in the middle of the week
- Volunteer for something
That's my top 10 for now. And with that I'm signing out. So. Do I look unemployed?
