I have been out of a job for nearly a month now. And I am torn. Part of me misses going into the nice air-conditioned office with the big desk and the ability to print out on the color laser printer all the funny cartoons that my friends send me. Also, without my power job (and it WAS a power job) no one calls to quote me in the newspaper. Frankly, hardly anyone calls me at all lately. On the other hand, I kinda like being home all day. I have caught up on my ironing. I've re-read several of my favorite books. I went swimming one morning, and I live just blocks from the ocean and haven't been swimming in years! On the third hand, not being able to spend money without feeling guilty is becoming a drag. Tough choice. This is an excellent post, and I say this because I can relate to it.
