Unemployed

Today I am officially unemployed. I signed my papers, said my goodbyes, and left that office for the last time. It is strange to know that I will never go back to the place where I had been coming everyday for the last three years. Then on the ride home I started thinking, 'what am I going to do with all my free time?' Then I started thinking about making a list of things that I want to do while I am out of work, like go to this local hot dog stand that is only open during the day. (I know, I have high ambitions) I'm excited about not working while still getting paid. I think that is the real American dream.

The most amusing part of my unemployment situation is afterwards I spent almost the rest of the day on the phone, but I was not talking about losing my job or finding a new one. Rather I was talking about a controversial selection decision made for my rugby team. For some reason the selectors decided that it would be a good idea not to start me for our rivalry game. This shocked nearly everyone that heard about it, so I was getting phone calls from all my teammates to talk about it. While we were talking about rugby, I'm sure I mentioned that I lost my job, but there didn't seem to be much interest in that point.
