After being fired, I found myself falling off the wagon. I slept until about 3 in the afternoon. Then, I filled my body up with cheesecake pancakes from IHOP and whiskey 7-Up cocktails. This series of events had me feeling sick, groggy and useless.
I forgot what it was that pulled me out of this stupor. I legitimately think it was Cody Ross scoring the winning run on a wild pitch in the ninth last night. I hopped online and I took some measures to put my best foot forward. I applied for a job as a customer account representative at Rent-A-Center. I also researched becoming a substitute teacher in Alachua county. I think I'd make a pretty good sub. I would make the kids laugh and make learning mean something and when it's crunch time, I'll be stern but fair. I also cut a deal with my buddy Dave to live at his place until I find a job and can afford rent.
Today I was doing yard work for my father. He wanted me to pull trees out of a bed because they had gotten out of control and wanted to plant new ones. I took to the job with this rusty hand saw and the job was a pain. I finally decided that there had to be a better way of doing things. I looked around and found a chainsaw. I fired that puppy up and had the work done in no time. It made me think that perhaps there's always an easier way of getting things down as long as you stop and think about it. So in the struggle that is my life after college, I'll be looking for that chainsaw.
