All good things must come to an end

Well, it was a good run. I gave it a hell of a shot.

Tomorrow morning, my eleven week paid vacation of unemployment has run out and I have to go back to work. Actually, it worked out perfectly. I let my severance package run its course and got hired back on at exactly the right time.

I guess I’ve mastered that unemployment bullshit.

You know what I found out while I was unemployed? People who don’t work are crazy busy. I didn’t get nearly the amount of stuff done that I thought I would.

Also, Jojo Kittywiggles is kinda happy that I’ll be going. He’s suffered greatly while I was home. I’m certain he didn’t get anywhere near the amount of sleep he normally does because I kept pestering him. I actually might have made his ear go a little bald from kissing it all the time. Also, how many other people do you know who buy outfits to dress their cat? It has been brought to my attention that he would make a lovely calendar model. Hmmmmm. Maybe.

I also learned that the cat does not approve of hole punches. He really doesn’t approve of using them on the desk while he’s sleeping on it. Also, the pigeons arrive around 1pm to eat the left over dog food and Jojo hates those pigeons with the fire of a thousand suns. He sits in front of the French doors with his ears folded back and growls ferociously. The first time he did it I had no idea what that noise was and freaked out.

Another discovery of some import is that Drew Carey is no Bob Barker.

My dog Winnie has to go in and out of the house approximately 9,325,489 times a day. More if the pigeons keep hanging around. No butterfly, caterpillar, 747, or ghost has passed by our house without being bayed at by Roscoe the Bloodhound.

So I will go back to work in the morning. Wearing actual work clothes. And shoes.

The shoes are concerning. I haven’t worn real shoes in months. Do you remember Agador Spartacus with his shoe problem in The Birdcage? That’s gonna be me.

I’ll be back tomorrow with how things went. Let me know who wins the Showcase Showdown, alright?
