woes of the unemployed

As of this moment, I am officially unemployed, jobless, without work, drifting, in limbo, in purgatory: sans argent. But hey, look! I can read EVERYBODY's blog, not scan, not browse, not view real quick - actually read, take my time and click off into the vortex of the world wide web, allowing myself to get lost and finding other portals, lands, and places I never imagined. It's hard to get lost while at work because you soon forget what you were really doing (waiting for humongous files to download to the server, but meanwhile let me read _____'s blog), then your superior walks in and it's either ALT/TAB or Show Desktop and apparently, you're doing nothing because there's nothing on your desktop at all. I can also browse the ifnite items of amazon.com, but sadly not buy anything. I could also start fixing up the house to the way I want it to look, but nothing will be in until next week. But then, I know I have to actually browse monster.com, careers.com, nj.com for jobs, jobs, jobs. Tweak the resume until it fits the various profiles, inject key words for appropriate positions, blah, blah, blah. Can I just stay home, surf the internet till my eyes go bleary and watch DVDs till I fall asleep and not mind the unemployment thing one bit? Sigh...
