Ta-da.
As of this previous Friday, I am now once again free of employment. I have no meaningful, gainful employment to speak of, and that will apparently still apply for the foreseeable future.
Thus far, on my second day of actually noticing (I don't count the weekend, since I wouldn't have been at work anyway) I'm enjoying the extra two hours of sleep my body has granted me. I wasn't sure how long I'd be able to sleep in, seeing as my body has grown accustomed to the shorter hours in bed. I've also managed to stay up past my ridiculous self-imposed work-day bedtime, which is nice.
Of course, I can't stay this way forever. I do eventually need to find a job. However… there are complications. One, I'm only going to be living in the area for another two-and-a-half months, so long-term gigs are iffy. Second, it doesn't help when companies you're going to interview with decide to cancel the interview just a few short hours beforehand. No ill will and no names, I'm just saying. It'd be great if I could just score a couple relatively simple one-off freelance gigs to do over the next month or two. Just a mom-and-pop store that needs a simple site to advertise their wares (the kind of place I sent proposals to back five months ago), nothing major. Just something to keep myself busy with.
In the meantime, I'm gonna slip back into bed for a bit, then get up, take a nice long hot shower (oh how I miss those) and enjoy the weather that seems finally to be coming around.
