Coca-Cola, Montel Williams and a Piece of Lint

Those three things surmised my life in the last three days. Lessons learned from the opening days of unemployment:

1) There is shit on for TV during the day. I mean utter and complete shit. Even Nat Geo is stuck playing the Dog Whisperer all day. I hate that guy.

2) You can find lint in the weirdest places. This may not be news to some, but it is news to me.

3) I can't drink regular Coke anymore. Actually I can't drink most regular sodas anymore. I think Diet sodas have corrupted me

4) My neighbors are fat. I mean like really fat. I mean fupas galore fat. It's amazing.

5) Daydreaming is nowhere near as fun when you're 24 as it is when you're 14.

6) Internet porn is overrated

7) Seven out of ten people do not stop at the stop sign on the corner I live on

8) One cannot remain nude all day in an attempt to be lazy and comfortable. Too many scary circumstances

9) Medco still sucks

10) And finally, I think I'm allergic to natural light. I've been working indoors for so long I cringe whenever it graces my skin. I think I'm going to need to purchase a nice buzzing fluorescent light to maintain my sanity.

And to think, I may have another couple months of this. Wonder what else I'll learn.

Daytime TV drove one of my old partners mad, when she was out on bedrest for 3 months.

The library was my sanity when I was on "bed rest" both times. I was so bad at staying put I had to change it to "Dont be stupid rest" instead. ie, no hiking, hunting, yard work, painting, or shopping big box stores.

There is only so much napping, avoiding housework, ignoring piles of paper on your desk, and other WAB-ing you can do in a day.

Good luck hanging out, hope it ends soon & positively!

I was just out on sick leave for a month. I read a stack of books, played Farmville (yes, I'm hooked, so sue me) and slept way too much. Good luck!

Do some volunteer work, like Meals on Wheels. That will eat up a few hours, and you'll discover even more linty places.

I know exactly what you mean! There is crap on Tv, you find yourself watching shows you would otherwise jeer at someone else for watching. Nudity doesn't work (like you said, scary situations). I've made the decision that even if I suddenly and unexpectedly become independantly wealthy (you know, just in case) I would still have a job or something at least a few days a week. Walmart should provide that for you...mhahahahaha
