If I had more readers and this was more than just an exercise in self-absorbtion, I'd ask for suggestions on what people do when their unemployed. Besides job hunting.
How do you find creativity and motivation? How do you continue to feel smart and engaging when you're sitting around your house checking Facebook and ignoring your confused dog who whines and paces for attention?
(Wow, it's not looking good for the Sara Betterment Phase. I even Googled the phrase "What do to when you're unemployed" and a list actually told me half of the things I have been doing already: blogging, cooking, crafts.)
I will say I am surprised at the amount of people at home during the day. It's almost offensive. What are they doing? Are they also out of work? Are they all really collecting disability checks? Seriously, I have seen more of my neighbors today than in the last month. What are the chances they work evening jobs or just have off on Tuesdays?
Well, it's a rocky start to my unemployment. Although I have nailed down a couple freelance gigs and set up an informal interview for a prospective job lead, it seems like the afternoon stretches out in front of me.
I guess I'll go paint my fingernails.
