I have discovered through many times of being fired, that there is a certain process one must go through. They are in no order, but at some point you will have done at least some of them.
1. Pictured your boss and/or co-workers in absolute misery. Hopefully by your causing. You think of ways to 'get back' at them. By fair means or foul.
2. Gotten very very very drunk
3. Bitched to everyone and anyone who would listen about:
a. all the shit they put you through
b. how crappy your boss was
c. how you were under appreciated
d. how you are better off not working there anyway
4. Cleaned your house/apt. It seems to be a good excuse to not leave it and a great reason why you are not immediately looking for something else
5. Get caught up on all the reading/tv shows you have missed for same reason as #4
6. Get drunk again
7. Go out and buy yourself something to feel better even though you know you can't afford it but you need a new shirt/skirt/pants for interviews.
I have so far done almost all of these. I am saving the 'getting drunk' portion for tomorrow night. Even though i can't afford it.
Surprisingly, being sans job has been very productive for me. I have done my spring cleaning early. And by 'spring cleaning' I mean i have thrown out a lot of the ex's shit. I have no concern if he needs it or not. (When you break up with someone, dont leave your shit there! It's been 6 weeks! You think i like having your skanky cat and your dirty laundry skulking around??)
I have caught up on some books and watched a lot of movies. I have vacuumed places that have not seen light since i moved in.
I still think i would rather be working. I feel no pride over a clean refrigerator door.
