Unemployment is lonely

I think I've seen Eric every day this week.. Sunday, Monday, yesterday? And today he helped me put air in my tires, and I ran an errand to the bank for him.
I have been on this computer for hours every day, emailing, blogging, and reading job sites.
I email Eden all day long - it's a wonder she gets any work done.

Today I spoke to the woman at Unemploy ment Office. She talked to me about severence, and when I filed, and qualified weeks and disqualified weeks and full weeks and partial weeks and waiting periods and on and on and I couldn't understand anything, except that she needs a copy of the release I signed to prove that 2 weeks of my severance were because I signed the form. of course I can't find it. I think the issue was that 7 weeks from 3/14 was covered by severance which includes 4/18 -- 5 weeks, then I was out of town for 2, and theres a 1 week waiting period, which brings me to 5/13 anyway!! So, figured it out!! WHEW!!!

I've also emailed some Keane people to say hi - Joanne Dustin, Barb Minch, Rich Livingstone, JohnnyO, Andrea Duda, and also Rob and Chris, just to stay in touch... Without all these men in my life, I am feeling lonely... I told Eden that I'm going to email Joe A... When it comes to men, I am totally screwed up, aren't I?

Tonight is Me'Ah, our next to last class - I haven't done the latest reading, I need to work on my resume for my meeting tomorrow, I need to stay on WW - I'm so excited to have lost 9/5 pounds but I need to lose more - I can't fall off now. I haven't been to the gym. I could go now, but I'm not in the mood... maybe tomorrow. Of course, Alan never emailed me back.. I'll see him on 5/26 and I'll just act all casual, hey howareya? no big deal.

I'm watching The Lonely Guy with Steve Martin... oy, it's my life.
