I have had a LOT of free time since losing my job in September.

My days have become blurred. I no longer have the concept of weekends. The only thing making me remember what day it is are the fucking ridiculous $50 street-sweeping parking tickets. Other than that, I barely pay attention to the time of day.

Everything sucks. Even the little things.

Before, showering was an absolute necessity because I didn’t want to be the stinky girl at work. But now I have to force myself, even if the only place I’m going is the couch.

On the plus side, my room has never been cleaner.

In order to remain sane and not want to shoot myself on a daily basis, I have been giving myself “work”. I might as well do work-like things that makes me feel like less of a loser while learning and creating stuff to put on my resume.

See that? Two birds.

I’m a great multi-tasker. Hire me already!

The “work” that I’ve mostly been giving myself are web site projects. The latest is a Blogger template at Lucy In Da Sky With Diamonds.

That’s all. Just putting my work out there so I can get feedback. Or not. Whatever.

I’ve been pretty absent from the web lately. This is my attempt at coming back.

As some of you may know, I have a severe love-hate relationship with the look of this blog. In order to be motivated to get back into blogging, I needed to have something I was proud of, hence the redesign. I realize it’s stupid and the appearance of a blog shouldn’t really matter, but this is what I’m trying to become a professional at (read: bitch is trying to get paid). Supeficial? Perhaps. But I like to think of it more as practice so I can get better at it.

I went for a more simplistic look this time around. I like it. And the best thing is it didn’t take me 100 years to do.
