I’ve been 72% unemployed for the past month. You may remember my rant a while back about the whole Fool Me Once/ Fool Me Twice thing. So I was partially hoping that I would get a text this morning asking why I wasn’t at work (I’ve had this planned out for some time now) so that I could come back with the “You didn’t tell me that I had to work today. Again.” or something moderately sassy but not so bad that I would get fired. Instead, I got Facebook notifications and an e-mail from My Morning Jacket telling me that they’re not coming to the Northwest on their second round tour.
Whatever.
I guess it’s better that way though since I can’t even afford to buy … um… something cheap.

You would think that during this time I would have maximized my free time and gone through my department store of clothes finally getting rid of things that I don’t wear. Maybe, in general, I would just get rid of all the shit in this apartment that I don’t want. I would clean the oven. Dust my books. Clean the bathtub. Wash the windows. Alphabetize my movies. At least finish some crochet projects.

Since the beginning of my Fauxnemployment, I’ve made it through 6 seasons of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

that’s it.

no wait! One day I did the dishes and yesterday I cleaned off/ out my espresso machine. There was also another day that I found out that the  quote I have attributed to “Some Kind Of Wonderful” is actually from the second season of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Here in just a minute I’m going to do some investigating because something around the couch smells like a wet dog… a clean dog, but wet never-the-less. I colored my hair the other day (which actually did serve a fairly decent purpose– I remembered that it kind of is nice knowing what I’m doing and when I throw some colors together, it’s not just hodge-podge… I actually know what’s going to happen in the end…) I blocked a sudden onslaught of porn followers on my Twitter. Tj got back so we’ve been doing a lot of free style hanging.

In fact, rather than finishing this blog or doing any of the things from that Mature list… We’re going to go get iced lattes and hang out in nature.

Cause that’s what friends do.
