Lots of time...

Having a lot of time on my hands gives me time to think...a lot.
Being unemployed is an interesting state of being. Sure, I am sending out my resume, and applying for just about any job I can find; yet this free time is nice also.
I don't really do much. I am mostly just looking at online employment sites.
It has also given me time to do things I have missed while working. Basically spending more time with my two dogs, and catching up on cleaning around here. I was bored one day, so I bought a bunch of spray paint, and decided to re-paint my motorcycle...it is still in process...but is coming along.
I have been catching up on reading the ride reports at ADVrider, those are always inspiring.
Busy planning our trip down to Phoenix for my cousin's wedding, of course it will be a six day motorcycle trip, with a stop in Las Vegas...oh and if you are ever in Vegas, go to the NYNY hotel and have dinner at Nine Fine Irishmen, it is a great Irish pub setting, with traditional Irish cuisine, and a great beer selection.
I actually have a slightly funny story about the first time we went there.
We were on our week long vacation to Zion/Bryce canyon national parks, and spent the weekend before in Las Vegas. My parents were driving up from CA, and it happened to be that Sarah's mom was going to be in Vegas with her boyfriend for some marketing conference. So, we all went to dinner there...it was interesting. I am Irish, and of course so is my father, and so is Linda's (Sarah's mom) boyfriend...it must have been fate.

Anyway...looking for a job in this economy sucks ass...
That is all for now..

I am lost?

So...you know how we have been all excited about purchasing a house, and the new job etc...well....
I have,I guess, been laid off. The restaurant is doing horribly, so they can not afford to pay me my salary. I can't say I didn't partly see it coming, considering how slow business has been over the last two months. Example: Yesterday we made a whole 200 dollars for the day...if this was an isolated incident it would be ok, but it is not. There have been many days like this.
Technically I am not fired, I have agreed to stay on for hourly pay, a much lower rate though. I guess it is better than nothing at all, but not by much.

What does this mean? Well the house we were looking at is not a financially smart decision anymore, unless I find a position within the next week or two that is comparable to what I had been promised.
If that doesn't happen, then we are most likely going to live out our lease until the end of May, and maybe move to Vermont.

All I have to say is that it is a good thing I am the kind of person who just takes life as it comes.
