So during pillow talk the other night my girlfriend and I finally got around to the hard subject of my impending unemployment (my contract ends on June 20th). I didn't stress about it this weekend and got a call about one of my dream jobs on Monday morning.
I was going on about unemployment insurance and how I wished I could apply for it early to get ahead of the processing time, and she challenged me not to apply for anything this week and see what happens, and thought that I would have a better time playing Pokemon.
So anyway, I took her up on her challenge, have spent my evenings and free afternoons playing video games and committing myself to contentment, and have two interviews lined up for two lines of work I've been wanting to get into for two years.
I have no idea how this worked out how it did but it's one of the best feelings I've ever had.
