Day 21: The Haze of Unemployment

And I thought it was boring going through the same old routine at work everyday. Being unemployed is a constant feeling of pressure like I should be doing something more productive. I can't really relax and appreciate the fact I have free time now. All I'm doing is watching shows and reading comics but it isn't very entertaining. Yesterday, I updated my resume and made a list of all the temp agencies in Greenville. I also figured out if I was too fat for my khaki pants in case I needed to go on interviews. That almost felt like I was accomplishing something.

I feel like I should reach out to my company again and let them know what is going on but, what difference would it make? Maybe I could just ask what they think the wait time will be so I can plan accordingly. I guess I am still shaking off the shock and bold action will become more clear as the days pass. I have spent $2 in the past two days but the time is quickly approaching for me to spend more. My credit card payment gets taken out today and I have therapy on Tuesday, all of that will set me back $200 and then it is only a matter of time before I have to hit my savings. Things are stressful now and no fun.

Food since last time: My mother gave me her leftovers from a lunch sometime last week which was half a cheeseburger and some fries. That held me over until I had my double shot of beef ramen for dinner. I've had two mini-crullers today but that is it. I need to go to the grocery store but that is a whole other conundrum.

Pop Culture: I watched the pretty lousy 1000000 Ways to Die in the West, read a bunch of Siege comics, watched Comedy Bang Bang and also the movie The Discovery.
