Jobless jots

Yes, I have been officially unemployed since the 9th of November. And today, as you can see, it’s almost the end of the month hahaha. I thought this blog would get more TLC with me not having much to do but much to my surprise, it seems that the more I have nothing to do, the more I do nothing. Hahaha, if you could get what I mean.

It’s been weird, staying at home this long, not going to work. The longest I have ever been jobless was for 20 days. And that was BEFORE I start my first proper job. After uni, I stayed home for a full WEEK (*gasp*), packed my bags, got to KL, looked for a part-time job, and start working the next day. After I quit that job, I was jobless for 2 weeks before I went for an interview, got the job, and started the week after. And since then, I haven’t been jobless. Well, perhaps for a week. I guess that explains my restlessness about not having a job right now. Especially with car loan installments, bills, more bills, parents waiting for their share monthly, and what-nots. Well of course I had allocated some money for whatever needs to be paid for this month since I don’t get paid, but still, the uneasy queasiness deep down in my tummy still troubles me. And I sure am gambling right here, as when I said I am unemployed, I am unemployed. Sure there are offers, one I sooo want and was promised to get but still haven’t received the offer letter (cross fingers) and one I was supposed to start earlier this week but postponed to next month at the thought of still wanting to ‘lepak’ and perhaps at the same time wait for the said letter. And I haven’t even signed it yet. Miahahaha.

Of course if the other offer comes late I shall start at this other other place first hehehe I would crawl out of my skin by next month if I am still jobless. This wanting to rest for a whole month is not helping much. Technically, it’s only a bit more than 20 days, tak sampai sebulan pun. Now I am seriously wondering why I did not want to start the job this week. I guess I just got lazy. Hehehehehe.

So what have I been up to?? Let’s see, since that fateful day of 9th November, I have been going out daily, every single day yup yup. Well, that is, I took the opportunity bestowed to me to contact friends I haven’t met or lunched with for a long long time. Well, within reasonable distance of my humble abode of course; though I don’t have to go through traffic jams, ladies with no income shouldn’t spend too much money on petrol. It’s better to spend it all on glorious food!!! So everyday, I would go and find someone for me to lunch with… and one unfortunate one would HAVE to lunch with me whenever no one else is available muahahaha. Except for one single occasion where god-knows-how-come-I-got-so-lazy-to-get-off-my-ass that I stayed home the WHOLE day in my pyjamas. And another when I had a sudden craving for chicken rice at this particular shop but no one was free to come that distance with me so I ate alone. And it didn’t kill me. Hahahaha.

I must say I have been proud and not of myself of late.

Things I’m proud of:

1. I wake up very early in the morning every single day to wake hubbster up for work, brush my teeth, make us breakfast, and send hubbster off to work. (So this is what it feels like to be a housewife….)
2. I don’t spend my whole day on the bed or sleeping too much. Only on very few occasions do I get back to bed, but only for an hour or so.
3. I read the news daily on the Net. Hahahahaha.
4. I cleaned the room!! *Almost* the entire room!! Once, that is.
5. I paid long-overdue bills, closed whatever accounts that needed to be closed, got whatever important errands that needed to be done, done.
6. I had money to shop. Well, my claim cheque that was supposed to be used for Raya but didn’t get cleared till recently. Soooo since I already allocated money for the important stuff, I could shop. Anddd I’m proud to say, I could shop alone. Again, it didn’t kill me. Yeay I proved I’m not a clinger hehehe.
7. More importantly, I was disciplined enough to NOT spend it ALL and to NOT add on to my faithful cc’s balance. Yeayss!

Things I’m not-so-proud of:

1. I don’t bathe till it’s almost lunch-time and I am late for lunch appointments with friends. Hahahahaha.
2. There are days when the bed is not made at all coz I keep going back to it all day hehehehehe.
3. I spend too much time in front of the PC, sometimes surfing nonsense, just chatting, and then realize the whole day is gone. (Look what u’ve done to me b!!)
4. I only cleaned the room once hhahahahaha. And THAT almost took the whole day.
5. I procrastinate like mad. There are days when I realize it’s almost 6 p.m. and hubbster’s almost home and I HAVEN’T DONE A SINGLE THING ALL DAY. When there are actually things to do isk isk isk
6. Hubbster pointed out that I have developed a craving to shop since I am jobless and have the time on my hands and I have a feeling he is not entirely wrong hahaha.
7. I still spent quite a lot of money anyways. *sniggers*

This weekend we’ll be going back to my kampung for a uni friend’s wedding, next week hubbster will be on leave too, and the week after I shall start my new job! (Come on semangat sikit!) So you can say, it is already the end of my jobless days, having all the ‘me’ time to myself. While I have actually enjoyed it thoroughly and soo believe that I did deserve this long-awaited rest, I can’t wait to start my new job too. (And start complaining about it soon enough hehehehe).
