In Search of Industry

in an effort to stave off inertia, i've decided to wake up every morning and get dressed as though i have some place to be. while sleeping in and wearing your pajamas all day are benefits of being unemployed, it gets old fast.

i went to bed at midnight last night and didn't wake up until my sister called me at 8:45 this morning. i managed to get some coffee going and eat a bowl of cereal before falling back asleep on the couch until just before 11:30. I kept trying to wake up, but was so sleepy...

i've been on the grind, as they say, when it comes to looking for work, but i feel purposelessness creeping in. it's been a week and i am fully out of the routine of a working adult. when it's time to go back, whenever that is, the transition will be rough.

packing up the laptop and going to nearby cafes or to the library are one way to redeem the time. i've already planned to travel to dc on friday morning to hook up with an old friend. i'm trying to remind myself that there is ample opportunity in the midst of the uncertainty and stress.
