6 more days

I am now officially unemployed for the first time in 20 years (except for a very brief time in the early '90s in between working for a corrupt Internet start-up and cocktailing at a club on Sunset Boulevard). It hasn't hit me yet. Yesterday was an incredibly stressful and emotional day. I hadn't anticipated how long it would take to clear out a computer I had used for four years and how sad it would be to say goodbye in bulk. When I finally got home, I popped a bottle of champagne someone gave me last weekend and shared it with a friend in the packing rubble of my apartment.
