Not Working

Today I realized I have been officially unemployed for a month. I wanted to give people an introspective look into what it's like to NOT work, after having spent a decade bouncing from shitty job to shitty job.

When I was working...
  • I would begin my day anywhere from 7 am - 11 am, depending on when my employer needed me.
  • I have done everything from laying carpet, to serving french fries, to being yelled at because it took me 21 minutes to arrive at someone's house in a blizzard rather than the 20 they were told. It has been a really bumpy ride.
  • The Dress Code has always been Khakis and a dress shirt.
  • I don't remember too many days that ended before 5 o'clock... long hours for short pay. What a bunch of crap.
  • Days off? Never. IF I got one, it would be a monday, which is statistically the worst day to try and hang out with anyone. Seriously, when is the last time you said to someone, "What are you doing monday?" I bet you replied, "Never."
Now...
  • I wake up at the crack of noon (if I feel like it)
  • I am now skilled in the arts of rock band, street fighter, and various internet checking... of... stuff?
  • Nobody complains to me. Nobody is around. It is awesome.
  • The "dress code" is naked. Also awesome.
  • My day ends when I feel like it should. Which is pretty much like 4 am the next day.
  • Everyday is like sunday.
So not working is kinda fun. Also, everyone who is viewing this stuff? Feel free to comment. I like comments.

  8. considering that you just requested that a bunch of dudes "suck it," I feel like it's my duty to tell you that it's like you're the pot, and you're calling the kettle black. (If you still don't understand, it means, "shut up Liberace.")
