Gainfully Unemployed
Friday, August 04, 2006
So as of today I'm unemployed as I head back to school. It's kind of a mental shocker, considering where I so recently was. Suddenly my expenses are WAY up and my income is WAY down. Sigh.
As last days go it was a good one. My boss, my buddy, and I went out for sushi at lunch, a few people said goodbye, and I took off early. The bad news, though, is that apparently Beaverton traffic is worse at 3:30 on a Friday than it is at 5:00 PM. It took me over an hour to get home, which frustrated me a lot.
Tomorrow I move most of my stuff to my new apartment in Salem. It's going to be a bigger production than my last move but there will be less stuff, so I'm hoping to be less tired and sore. Am I anxious about changing my life so much? You bet. Am I excited? Yup. Am I scared? Darn right. But, like it or not... academia, here I come!
