So, Kell and I are unemployed. Still. There are only so many hours in a day a girl can walk up and down the street with her ideals and a resume and get rejected time after time...so, said girl must find other things to occupy all the other hours.
Firstly, sleep in. A lot. Maybe til 10 one day, 11 the next. BUT, make sure to MOVE YOUR CAR ON STREETSWEEPING DAYS. That's from 9:00-11:00. You CAN go back to sleep, though.
Secondly, you're poor, so figure out some free things to do. Walking is free. One day, I said to Kelly, "Kelly, what should we do today?" "Not sure. What do you want to do?" "Let's go for a walk." "Ok." So, we went for a walk. We walked to the Queen Mary. We browsed a Borders and read the books for free, then left. Three hours later, we got home. Then we took naps because we were tired. ;)
Another free thing to do is go to museums on their "Free" days. The Long Beach Museum of Contemporary Art has "Free Fridays," so guess what Kelly and I are doing later? We're walking to the museum. We will browse said art pieces, then walk home.
Thirdly, FIND INTERNET. We've discovered that at the public library down the road, there are computers hooked up to the internet. So, we walk. Panera is also AMAZING and offers free internet...I buy a cup of coffee for $1.80 and sit for three hours and have 4-5 refills. Yep. Now, chat to everyone who is at work and trying to be productive. Distract them. Annoy them. Discuss truly significant things like whether a truck's emergency brake will light up all the tail lights or not.
Fourthly, this will not last forever. Try to enjoy it. Rock bottom is VERY far away, and there are a lot of people who would catch you before that ever really became an issue anyway.
A few words of caution:
Beware of watching too many seasons in a row of a particular show that you happen to love. You will cry when bad stuff happens to these people who have magically become your family and you will forget that they are not real.
Ice cream will begin to sound like a good idea for lunch. Remember, you will eat a lot, being near the kitchen and all and not having anything else to do. Counter this by running, walking, biking, etc-ing. Plus, those are FREE activities! :)
Any other ideas of what the unemployed might try? Hopefully, we're running out of time as said "schedule-ey free" girls!

That is one funny blog! :D
Found this blog by randomly clicking on things off my blog. Seeing who would pop up...well you did and I found the "unemployed blog" hilarious. Nothing like bugging the working class and the free things to do are great. Thanks for the laugh =)
You could always watch my girls...that is free right??
I think this may be my most enjoyed blog in quite some time. Bravo.
