day 1
Today is the first day of being unemployed and it's a lot worse than I thought it would be. I feel so useless and a general drain on humanity. As much as it stinks waking up to go to work, at least you can feel like you're doing something. Unlike a vacation, I feel like I'm skipping school or something by not going to work. It just feels wrong.
On Saturday I had my first job interview and it went real well. So well that the guy basically gave me the job but the issue was the pay. It was $8k less than I made before and with no benefits. I told the guy that wasn't going to fly and he said he would make me a counter offer so I'm waiting to hear back on that. It's an interesting job that I would like to be a part of so hopefully that will work out. In the meantime, I have some recruiter interviews today in Maitland so I've got something else going on.
Aside from job stuff, it was a pretty quiet weekend. We bought some furniture for Marissa and otherwise took it easy. Marissa worked yesterday so I basically sat around and enjoyed some time to myself. Perhaps if things go well this week, we're eying a trip to Atlanta for a long weekend but we shall see how everything goes on the job front.
