The Weekend...The Days I Don't Count in my Unemployed Day Count for Some Reason

Don't Count the weekends as unemployed days......as a way of making the unemployed days less.....IT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER

So being unemployed during the weekdays is not too bad because it usually means I have scored myself an empty house. This allows for Risky Business style dancing and the making of crazy food concoctions in the kitchen.

BUT then the weekend hits and you are surrounded by the family. This is good for some but this weekend it is not particularly good for me. Lets just say this family bonding has pushed me into the job search even harder.

I have been unemployed for two weeks yet to my parents its like I have been unemployed for a year.

Its Saturday just one more day until I am uninhibitedly dancing down the halls of my house again in peace and quiet.

Day 10 out of university

Feeling: Desperate!!

So my friend just came back from South East Asia after 7 weeks of non stop fun. And is now in the unemployed university ship boat I have been ashamed to be sailing. So whether she likes it or not she is now my unemployed partner in crime AKA someone to hang out with in the day while respectable people are at work. With no money and no foreseeable life plans we began to do the dangerous thing that most bored people do but shouldn't .........IMAGINE!!

THS IS HOW INCURABLE BOREDOM STARTS PEOPLE!

You begin to imagine what you would be doing i.e the perfect job that you want to get with your degree or the next vacation (usually unrealistic) you will take once you are receiving a pay cheque again. And anything that doesn't fall into your boredom shall we say fantasy, such as your current life will leave you with a feeling of boredom so deep it is almost numbing.

During our imagination session while cleaning out my friends room we did end up coming up with 1 solid idea for a change. We decided on having a garage sale. Genius or just a bad farmers tan waiting to happen? We have one week to plan this epic sale we us luck!

Step 1: Clean out the closet

That should cure some boredom for a few hours.

Wish me luck!

Day 8 of being out of university

Feeling: NUMB!

I am beginning to go stir crazy. During exams the only thing that kept me sane was the thought of all the amazing sleeps that were going to take place around numerous places in my house once school was over. But with summer here my allergies are keeping me from these sleeps which keeps me awake at night to go over my jobless life. 

Not that I thought the career world would open up its arms to me as soon as I finished writing my last exam, I at least thought I would feel some sort of sense of accomplishment. That could be because I am in sort of a bachelor of arts degree limbo. 

What is degree limbo you may ask? It is when you did so poorly on an exam in a class you were already doing badly in so now you are sitting around IMPATIENTLY waiting for your final grade to see if you will be part of the convocation in June or just walking past the grad on your way to your summer school course. 

You know how most peoples lives have a silver lining? Mine has a line of crap. Exhibit A. this evening I was lucky enough to loose my job which was selling clothes to old ladies are a local mall retail chain. Apparently my sales weren't up to par. Somehow the company didn't understand that it is incredibly hard to sell poorly made and expensive clothes to people when you only work 1 to 2 times a week. 

Whatever....every time I went to work a little piece of me died.

So I have decided to at least attempt to take some sort of control of my life. If I can't sleep due to allergies I will join the masses with morning power walking instead of lying in bed blowing my nose. Tomorrow is day one of my morning walks which I am not really looking forward to because one side of my ipod earphones are dead. But one sided music listening could be a whole new experience for me.
