About getting work: Of course I'm applying for jobs online at places like Craig's List. I guess the good news is I barely have to dust off my old job search journals and strategy notes. (Yes hiking buddie-I keep records of my efforts to look for work and make strategy notes on how I'm going to tackle this LARGE task) Thankfully, I do have a friend or two who also are now "re-laid off"-so I'm not totally alone in this weirdness.
I've decided to also really get my house in order and do a couple of tasks that have been left neglected for lack of time. So I'm filing and shredding this week. Some of the shredding is very difficult-because it seems like I'm shredding away a part of a dear past. Because of this shredding -my prayer on Hike 4 has become like a chant..."Restore, Restore, Restore what the locusts have eaten". "Restore, Restore, Restore..."
Life around the trip: I've been telling my friends that everyone except my wallet is benefiting from this period of unemployment. The dog certainly is getting more walks. I can see my friends a bit more and I can cook dinner without racing thru the process. I can play my ukulele ...so I'm starting to see some of the good events that can come from this season.
Cheap Thrills: Adventures for the unemployed. You know hiking buddie-the unemployed need adventures too..I have learned how to live rich on a poor persons budget. I have a restaurant where I go where I can get an amazing lunch for $4.22. Where's your cheap eats spot???
