Another Day 13 - Life Goes On

 

Today is day 8 of being unemployed, because holidays and weekends don't really count. Considering I'm getting paid, am I really unemployed ? I guess so. It's going to continue to be a scary place until I have a job, and hopefully I clinched that Monday ! For now, I consider this time off to be a vacation. I got paid for 12 vacation days and today would be day 8 of that.

I was awake about 7:25 am today and I feel refreshed. I actually fell asleep on the couch last night until 1 am, but was able to go right back to sleep when I went upstairs. It likely helped that my bedroom was nice and cool from the air conditioner ! I fed the cats and settled in to watch YouTube and have my coffee and a cinnamon roll.

Today is Kim's 64th birthday and if they were still with us it would be my parents 65th wedding anniversary ! Saturday is my mom's birthday and she would have been 84. I may visit their grave on Saturday.

I did my usual check of LinkedIn jobs and didn't see anything I wanted to pursue. I'm still holding out hope for the Accenture job and I'm grateful I have time to be selective when it comes to a new job. I haven't heard from Kurt and that still worries me. Maybe no news is good news ? I still plan to follow up with him next week if I don't hear anything. I really hope to get this job because I've been rejected from every other job I've applied for. I haven't heard from some, but that is likely because they're not interested. If Accenture falls through I might just have to find myself a bachelor's degree !

In a little bit of good news, I don't have to report for jury duty next week ! I have to check again next Thursday to see if I need to report the following week.

I spent the day on the couch watching YouTube and scrolling my phone.
