Unemployed Day 1
Today was my very first day without a job. I have already decided that Im going to go stir crazy quite quickly. I woke up this morning with lots to do however a feeling came over me that was different from the normal "I dont have to work today". The feeling was more of fear as if to say "I have no place to go today. I have no job". Although Im happy to be out of CIGNA and away from most people there who were immature (and quite honestly, people who mistake stupidity and rudeness for intelligence and professionalism)I still feel a sense of loss.
Todays agenda was 1) call unemployment 2) contact both schools 3) fill out financial aid forms and 4) postpone jury duty (which I will get to in a moment). I got my unemployment taken care of but that was about it. Instead I decided to go to the library and walk downtown. I decided to chat online and buy some blank DVDs to start burning. I decided to watch TV, smoke, and pretty much do as little as possible. I feel really guilty about it but Im sure Ill be over it quickly.
So I received a summons in the mail to report for jury duty here in SF's superior court. Apparently you can be called once a year. That totally floored me. Last I remember in NY, it was once every 5 years. Guess I know I made the big time now.
Anyway, Im supposed to report on May 2nd. This is only 3 days before Josh's graduation. Theres no way Im missing his graduation because he has already been disappointed that several people backed out who said they would go. There is no way Im going to miss it.
So from what I hear its pretty easy to postpone once. Ive never had to deal with it but tomorrow is a must to do it. I want to nip it in the bud and get it out of the way before it becomes a problem. Wish me luck on that.
As for other stuff, its been a pretty good weekend. Steve, Josh and I had dinner Saturday night with Rob from SJ (who is originally from Rochester), and our friend Ken who works at Worn Out West. Nice guy and new friend to me. Steve has known him a little while and Josh had just met him that night. We seem to have quite a bit in common which is pretty cool.
Sunday Josh left back to Heartwood for another 5 weeks. This is the final stretch and hopefully things will go smoothly when he's done. I went out with my friend Rick and we went to The Edge and Moby Dicks. He met a guy who works as a bartender at the Restaurant we had dinner at the night before. They set up a date for Wednesday night and I guess he wants me to go with him for drinks tomorrow night.
It was nice to be the other guy who got to watch their friends fondle, and make out with strangers. Usually its the opposite way around. *chuckle*.
As for last night, I felt a loss and missing having Josh sleeping with me. After a week of being together, its funny how you become used to someone being there all over again. Hopefully Ill get a chance to go up there in a couple of weeks and then finally for his graduation.
Thats about all for now. Wish me luck on day 2.
