Day two.five of unemployment... has also sucked. I laid around in bed until 8:30, because I felt like it. I've trolled the internet and look for more jobs, and made phone calls to follow up on the resumes I submitted yesterday. I found out where I have to go to file for unemployment. I had a little lightbulb go off in my head too, and took my jump drives and went up to the old office. Leigh and Kim are still employed, for thirty days. I'm locked out of my own computer, but I can access my files from Leigh's (BECAUSE I ALWAYS PUT MY FILES ON THE SHARED DRIVE... ONE TOO MANY COMPUTER CRASHES TAUGHT ME A LESSON!). I loaded every design project I touched onto my jump drives, and I'll be able to add them to my portfolio from home. HA! Take that, HNI Corporation! You may lock me out of my stuff, but I got in anyways! Our other designer wasn't able to do that because she doesn't have AutoCAD at home, so she can't open her files. Thankfully I do, so I'll be able to clean up my portfolio and get it all purty again.
It must have been everyone's time to come back to the office to get their things. Sheryl, Barbara, and I were all there, packing it up. Barbara told me that we should meet up at 9 to throw a huge rock through the window. I wish that'd make it better... so then we drove to our old boss' house to harass him. We took the bowl of Smarties off the front desk, and the rat we used to scare everyone with. He was shocked to see us, and he's upset. We gave the rat to his dog, it was hilarious.
I decided that job hunting really sucks. I'm staying positive though, but damn. I'm searching all my options. Andrew said his job is hiring... so I can be a semi-truck dispatcher! Just what I always wanted! But, as he said... the economy may go to shit, but people will still be shipping things. So, it's a thought.
I'm so happy, I did get to talk to Cass today! He imed me this morning, and we will talk again at ten tonight. That's daytime for him, so he'll be around. He is in Kuwait... and he says it's hot and sandy and sucks. But... as I will quickly snap at anyone who calls me to bitch about their job... at least it's a job! Don't take it for granted! Maybe I should go join the Army... hahahahahahaha no.
The other thing I've done today? Is brush the cats. A lot. They're shedding their summer coats so the new fluffy winter coats can come in. I think I got a pound of hair off of Paisley alone today. I'm gonna have the best groomed cats in Georgia!
