My sinuses are filled with cardboard

Alright, two weeks left. I will be on my my way in two weeks. I'm sure many of you have had the pleasure of watching me whine via Facebook and also the real world that my work announced they were shutting down the office about a week after I quit. (BTW, don't worry, internet is already set up out there so whining won't ever stop! You're welcome!)  I suspect it was an ingenious ploy to block me from getting unemployment. As a result, I've spent the past three weeks breaking down an entire office and emptying it out by myself. My soul really wanted to tell what to do with that idea but I need the reference and I firmly believe it's a learning experience that will make for good stories in job interviews. HEY look what I will put up with if you pay me! On the job front, I am applying, applying, applying. I've started freelance writing in every spare second I've got as well. I was trying to think of something to bring in money while I'm job searching and this is a natural fit. I'm an amazing bullshitter. It's not a skill useful in day to day life but I write very very fast and I can make things sound much smarter than they actually are. Have already made a few hundred dollars just doing it a few hours a night. I continue to receive the amazing advice mentioned in my previous post but I've perfected my "Are you shitting me?" stare in response. A few measured seconds of silence until they are uncomfortable and then I sweep off like a majestic creature. Like a dragon or something. A dragon of job hunting. Work ends in two days and I'm already booked with every possible specialist I can think of to thoroughly abuse my last remaining weeks of health insurance. My parents continue to rock out and be unfailingly supportive. Got to spend time with my sister and Masumi. Went to Mary Price's wedding and saw a lot of people I love very much but don't see anymore. Cramming a lot of life into this last month.

Now I've just got to get out there and start filling this one up
