Day 1 as an unemployed bum

Well I managed to get up out of bed, at 8am, which is a good thing right? So far I have checked my e-mail 10 times, checked facebook an equal number of times, read the Daily Mail (I know, it's my secret shame), finished and submitted a freelance article (see, it is getting better) and IMd a past classmate for tips on how to survive the day. It seems I am already thirsting for human contact, which is surprising seeing as I would normally consider myself to be someone quite independent. Maybe it is just the thought that there is nobody to talk to which is creating these weird feelings of loneliness. All my friends & family are in work, going about their usual daily business....

I now intend to have a shower, fill in my social welfare forms and go and sign on which should be an experience. I then intend to clean at least one room in the house. Will revert later on in the afternoon with a thrilling update!
