Today is my first morning of full unemployment. It was nice temping yesterday because I actually got to finish up a few items that never get finished in the rush and pleasantries of an official last day. At the same time, it distorted the reality of the fact I was leaving. I am somewhat mellow today, and last night I kept falling in and out of sleep with panicked thoughts about work and the realization I was no longer there. It is still what is best, though.
About health care (and the fact that I do not have any aside from retroactive COBRA): Aside from it being ridiculous that we live in the most monetarily wealthy country in the world which could easily ensure no child, adult, or anyone from crippling medical expenses or death due to nonpayment, it really is amazing how it seems that the second you are off it, you start noticing things you should have done while you had it. I do not mean to complain though, if I ever were to come into a major medical crisis, the Swiss consulate insists I could have a good life back in the motherland. Lonely, but good?
I look forward to having more interesting things to say here as time moves forward. Mostly photos though, I hope.
a thought: "retroactive COBRA" would make a great name for a grind band
a second thought: I don't really like t(i)nc, but I do like that album title
