First - 02.22.09

As of January 5th, 2008 I have been unemployed for 48 days.  I have not put on a pair of pants that aren't of the sweat or jean persuasion since interviewing at Emory for their MBA program almost a month ago.  My internal timeclock is now so messed up that I can't fall asleep before 3am and routinely sleep until 11am or noon every day.  On an almost daily basis, friends from across the country and family members in other parts of the world, invite me to come visit them.  The irony of being unemployed though is that I have limitless free time on my hands but feel economically limited and am admittedly afraid to accept any of these invitations at the risk of spending my goverment issued salary.  So instead, I sit on my couch at great length, go the gym two to three times a week, play tennis every wednesday night and try to socialize as much as my friends will allow themselves.  While I am actively job searching and patiently waiting to hear from the three MBA programs I submitted applications to, my life is decidely one of leisure, just not the brand of leisure I would prefer to partake in.....sigh
