Welp, unemployment really sucks, folks. I hate sitting around all day with nothing to do. Basically my day-to-day activities include looking for a job for about 3 hours, then raiding Watch Instantly on Netflix for something I haven't watched yet. Today, the highlight of my day was walking out to the mailbox and back.
The out of work blues are some of the worst blues to have. You already feel worthless for being shitcanned at a place where you thought you had some value, then BOOM, you're sitting by yourself all day while your roommate is out making money at the job that you helped him get 3 years ago. I stand out on my deck and look at the people in the pool, and I don't even have the motivation to go out and join them. Then I sit and look for a job that doesn't appear to be out there, while the day to pay bills grows ever closer.
It's really fucking deflating.
I have to go back to the office tomorrow to pick up my check and fill out exit paperwork. I have to face all my ex-colleagues who will probably look at me like I'm walking to the electric chair. Plus, nothing looks more sad and depressing than a guy doing a slow walk out of the office with his arms wrapped around a box filled with desk knick-knacks.
Oh well, I'll get through this just like I do with everything else. I just hope I get through it before I end up homeless.

Sorry dude. I hate to hear that you are jobless. You will find something soon. The economy is really bad, so job hunting is really hard on everyone right now. You will find something soon though I am sure. Just look on the bright side, now you have more time to look at all the hotness on Suicide Girls..lol. Sorry, totally not what you need to hear right now. I just wanted to make you laugh. Sometimes it makes you feel better. Most people do not want pity from others when they are feeling down. I have never been unemployed. In fact, I have never worked. I have been in school my entire life. I am still now. I am in graduate school trying to get a Masters in Education so that I can one day be a college professor for an online University and work from home. I have no work experience. So I am sure one day when I am looking for employment, this will hinder my efforts. So I feel for you in that aspect. As for the homelessness. I have been there 3 times. It teaches you a lot about life. You respect the little things a lot more. I am not materialistic anymore because of it. Money no longer matters. Yes, it is nice to have. It gets you what you need. However, happiness is the true key to a good life. That and love. Both of which is hard to achieve. Alright, I will shut up now. I am probably rotting your ears off. Anyhow, good luck with the job search and keep smiling. Things will get better. It may not seem like it now, but they will. I assure you of that!
