Unemployed - Day 1
Today was the first day that I haven’t had a job that I had or wanted to get up for in 13 years. I knew that Friday December 14 was going to my last day with my previous company, but it hasn’t quite set in.
Today I sent my resume out to a few places that peaked my interest in the non profit sector. As much I love the cable industry, where it was some 50 years ago, where it’s going in the future and what other products it has inspired to be created, I can’t find myself applying for the competitors. There’s still a sense of loyalty to previous company. Plus I have been interested in non profit for some time now. So like in the letter I sent to my previous co-workers this departure from previous company was bitter sweet.
I woke up around 9:30 because I just couldn’t sleep anymore, I also have a head cold and needed some Carrington Green Tea to help clear up my congestion. Had toast and immediately put my resume out to the world. Went for a walk with the dogs. Cleaned up the duck poop from the front porch. Watched all of VEEP on HBO HD OD (Home Box Office, High Definition, On Demand). I went to Bastrop to pick up some things for dinner. Made chicken fried steak for dinner, fed Teddy and Sancho. Played Black Ops with Teddy and then he went to bed and now I’m updating my blog. Oh, right before Teddy went to bed we found the toilet in our bedroom was overflowing and now the plumber is coming tomorrow to fix whatever may be happening to the plumbing. Tomorrow is somewhat planned, I have a gift card to a nail place in Bastrop that I haven’t used yet. Day two of unemployment is as good as any to get myself a pedicure, don’t you think?
For now goodnight,

4. combine the schnapps and buttermilk. add the dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with the cream soda and buttermilk.

This is pretty rad-ish, but lettuce not get too excited, the umbrella will allow your head to romaine dry but it’s not very tasty. I know the puns are corny but I really don’t carrot all.
Reblogged for puns. Peas stop.
