What Unemployed Alexis Does

1) Web surfing. Its shocking how much time can pass while I read up on celebrity gossip online. And for the record, I do believe that Tom and Kate have broken up. Psycho is only charming for so long.

2) Going to the gym. Or more accurately since I've signed up with a personal meat-head trainer who kicks my ass for fun, limping home from the gym too weak to lift the cat. This should all be worth it when I'm looking fantastic at the wedding. Or when I pull something and turn to spending my days in rehab whirlpools.

3) Shopping for dinner. I literally go to the grocery every other day. I understand the theory of shopping for the whole week but I get tired of whats in the fridge about 12 hours after I purchased it. Plus it makes me feel very european.

4) Learning French. In my pigeon-American way. I can sort of make myself understood now with a few words and gestures. I'm more like a French mime.

5) Video games. Damn them. They're like yuppie crack.

6) Wedding planning. It is a full time job and I'm happy to say that I am glad to be unemployed to do it. Seriously I don't know how career couples get all this stuff done.

7) Staring at window and waiting for sign from God as to what to do next. So far no sign but am hopeful for tomorrow.

Unemployed Again



(Sung to the tune of On the road Again)...

Well its official - Friday was my last day as an employee. Which was less of a relief than I thought it would be. I was looking forward to being "done" since I got to VT. I felt really disconnected, HATED working alone, and my boss definitely didn't hide his distaste of remote employees. So much so that he didn't return any of my calls in the past week as I attempted to have the "best of luck to you too" chat. Thus my last day of work was a relatively silent and solitary affair.

But not I have no entanglements, I'm free and clear to move on to new endeavors in here. Which would be more exciting if I had even the remote idea of what that new endeavor would be. Although I suppose now I have lots of time to think about it.
