day 1.

in a sense, i think i came to the party a bit late, but maybe not. unemployment causes you to find new ways to spend time. i'm sick to death of cleaning, so i thought i'd try blogging. i think it will be an improvement.

see, like all those who initially said, "when one door closes, another one opens," those are all people who think they are locating that silver lining for you. like you didn't already know that. i looked forward to a day when i wouldn't have to work in a cubicle. and i'd have to say that it has its advantages. i don't have to block out the smell of mcdonalds every day, since my house doesn't smell like mcdonalds. i don't have to answer stupid questions all day long, that's a bonus. i also don't have any idea how many people discussed janet jackson and whether anyone noticed that kerry has won nearly all of the primaries. my finger is so far off the pulse. luckily, the employed member of my household usually fills me in on the day's news. but i just wonder, how long does it take before you start to lose social skills? and how will i know once it happens?
