The Joys of Being Unemployed

As I sit here it is 8:38 in the morning. I should be sitting in my cubicle, drinking my morning coffee, saying good morning to everyone and wondering how long it is until it's time to go home. Trouble is about 24 hours ago I was informed that my services were no longer required at my company.

So instead I'm sitting here, nursing a hangover that would kill a goat, thinking about getting some curly fries from Jack In The Box, blogging and looking for a new job.

There are some positive things about not having a job. I've been wanting to get more into blogging and writing stories. As Dorothy told me "You can start that epic novel you've been bragging about for years." I have been talking a lot of talk and not doing much walking. I used my job as an excuse to not do the things that I really wanted to do. But I see this whole unemployment deal as a way to prioritize my life. Take some time to reevaluate where I am now and where I'd like to be. Finally sit down and write that damn book because I know it would be epic once it were finished.

I'm not sure exactly where the road will take me but I am sure that it's going to be one hell of an adventure. Am I scared? Hell yeah I am. Am I going to let it stop me? No I'm not. This is my time and I'm going to use it.
