So Joel and I hosted Thanksgiving this year, we had his mother, father, and grandparents, and we had my mother step father, sister her husband, and there two children. Joel put sooo much work into the preparations, and cleaning. My contributions where decorating, cleaning, and setting the table. We used Joels mothers 30 year old wedding plate set. all in all it came out nicely, our families intermingling, and hanging out with one another. i believe its the most people we ever had in the house at one time, and our largest dinner party to date.
I dutifully went back to work that friday, excited in the knowledge that i had the entire next week off, my first full week of vacation in over 2 years, and a long time coming as USIG canceled my previously booked week off due to my coworker being out on leave.
So i relished in the time off, lazy days, cooking dinners, all this free time was so relaxing. i almost didn't even mind going back to work the following Monday. I made my breakfast, I got my lunch together, and I headed into the office. I settled in, and got right back to work. Then Mike called me into his office, and he advised me that "they" where making him lay me off. I was very excited, because i could not stand the way that company sucks the life out of you.
And here we are i am into my third week of unemployment and fourth week off in total. I am job seeking, and there is one lead i am really looking forward to.
I am writing this out of sheer boredom and maybe ill start writing more frequently, as another outlet.
