First day unemployed - slept in

[kedrys]

Why am I not freaking out?

1. I'm not in the States.
2. I'm in IT, and this is hiring season. My job search aggregator sends me 25-40 jobs daily, and there are at least 7-8 in each batch for which I qualify.
3. I'm the top contender for one extremely cool job for which I interviewed a couple of weeks ago.
4. I personally know the hiring manager for one company who would be a near-perfect fit.
5. I uncharacteristically am parked on 2 months' worth of $$. I don't think I've ever been in this position.
6. My boss at the place where my contract just ended will write me a sterling rec.
7. Not necessarily in that order, except maybe for that first item.

1. So how long is your sabbatical going to last... Give or take?

[kedrys]

2. A couple of weeks, looks like

The one place where I interviewed is supposed to get back to me with an offer by the end of the week, which probably means early next.

In the meantime, I'm trying to line up more interviews, applying to a few more posts to hedge my bet, and making some phone calls.

I have a long list of other stuff I finally have time to do (like get my passport), so it's not like I'm totally slacking off. :D

:hi:

3. Well, Montreal is the strip club capitol of Canada

If you were going to slack off, you have your options

4. Oh, sure...

Encourage him to blow through his two month's reserve

Not that that's ever, um... happened... you know... to me or nothin'.

I read a lot.

6. Well, if he's continually hanging out on Rue Ste-Catherine Est at all hours of the night,

Don't blame me

I'm in Detroit. I can't hold his hand

[kedrys]

8. That's where I live...!

Ya know, The Ghey Village...?

The entertainment is endless and amazing. It's a 10-minute walk to all the best clubs. :bounce:

[MrScorpio]

9. Your sense of discipline is amazing... That you can hold on to your moolah

From the pictures I've seen of it, it reminds me of Europe

Luxembourg, specifically

[kedrys]

10. The booze is sold at extortionate prices

Kinda encourages you to get loaded before you leave the house. :rofl:

[kedrys]

7. Really...? No. I couldn't.

:evilgrin:

I *was* going to go out Thursday night... :P

[kedrys]

5. Well, now that the s.o. is allowed to work...

Erm, no, I better not suggest that either. :rofl:
