Being laid off sucks. I'm sure that many of you out there at some point have walked in that particular pair of shoes so you know what I'm talking about.
On top of submitting job applications, which arguably doesn't take to long since there aren't a whole lot of jobs out there...I watch tv or read. Two of my favorite pastimes. I've got quite the schedule going too.
10:00AM Perry Mason...I love Perry Mason. If I ever need a lawyer, Perry is the gold standard.
11:00AM Jerry Springer. I don't care what anyone says...when your life sucks, be grateful you aren't the person they have kept offstage in the soundproof room. Your life is just about to go downhill FAST!
Noon Steve Wilkos. If you have seen some of the early Jerry Springer tapings you will know who Steve is. Steve is a former security dude that Jerry used for many years. From time to time Jerry would let Steve do a segment and they were always amusing. Steve's claim to fame is that he doesn't let people sit down on his stage if they have been accused of wrongdoing. Oh, and he tells people to "get the hell off his stage".
1:00 PM Jerry Springer again...because is just one show a day enough? No. I think not.
3:00PM Jeremy Kyle. I call this guy the British version of Jerry Springer. I remember first seeing him on the telly on one of my trips to England and I thought he was a gasser then.
From there I might zip over to Netflix or Hulu to watch some old tv series like Mission Impossible or Dragnet. Hulu has a bounty of samurai movies. I'm a big fan of the Zatoichi series and just about everything done by Toshiro Mifune. The other night I watched Seven Samurai that was directed by Akira Kirosawa and Toshiro was one of the actors. Five years later you can watch The Magnificent Seven using the same premise...great art right there.
I also like to read. Most of the time you can find me reading one of two genres...romances or spirituality books. I do throw in the occasional employee development book so I can keep abreast of trends there. I've read romances since I was a teenager. Needless to say, I am sadly disappointed in the whole white knight image. But who cares, I love to live in that world even if only for a moment or two. I'm sure that I will talk more about my spirituality later but I do enjoy learning new things about myself, my faith and just how the universe works.
So there ya go...my current daily grind. Please...someone put me back to work!!
