Lady of Leisure

I've been home for the past... 12 days, since I'm no longer working. Don't worry, it was something that happened on a voluntary basis, I am not a victim of the world's rapidly deteriorating economy. Not that that fact is comforting to me in my unemployed state. But, I'll figure something out, when I get enough of being at home and sleeping. Which will be...

In any case I've been doing a couple of things over these past few days. The first thing would be;

1. Sleeping. Because I can.

2. Watching way too much television and some movies. So far the movies I've watched include Doomsday, Race to Witch Mountain, Fast & Furious while the TV shows I've been watching include, Denise Richards: It's Complicated, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, MTV's Made, I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here, and other such gems.

3. Getting sick - apparently stress - like what I was experiencing at my job, was keeping me well. In essence, I was so intent to be on point for work that my body prevented me from being sick. Right.

4. Cleaning my room. I'm lying. I moved around the dirt around a little and then I just stopped.

5. Applying for jobs. This is true. I have signed up on Jobstreet, updated my profile, looked furiously for jobs and then realized that me not being able to speak Malay well is actually a problem and also that I'm now wondering, d'you think I could maybe write for a living. Like for a magazine? Your thoughts?

I'm feeling kind of useless. Which was a little hard especially right after my last day because I think that I was so used to doing things every moment of the day that it felt strange to not feel obligated to be doing something. But now I'm kinda getting into the groove of being free. I might actually get around to doing things I want to do, like scrapbooking and finally making my room look just right. But for now, I'm happy to just kick back and watch the world pass me by.
