dear diary,

last night, as i was laying in bed trying to sleep, it occurred to me that i could not remember my old work phone number.

not the work phone number from my job three years ago. i remember that one easily.

i could not remember the phone number from my last job - the one which i was laid off from two months ago. the job i was at for nearly two years.

i don't know why i couldn't remember. the fact that i couldn't remember is probably an indicator of how unattached i was to that place and that job.

regardless, it did freak me out.

i used to have excellent memory, but now that i am teetering on the edge of my 36th birthday, i fear my excellent memory is going to shit...

in other news, i have to visit the unemployment office today (blah) to provide proof that i am eligible to work in the U.S. (of course, i've already collected a few unemployment checks from the state...and what if i was not eligible to work in the U.S.? are they going to demand their money back? so backwards and dumb...)

oh, and i have to provide a list of the jobs i've applied for in the last two weeks. i've half-heartedly applied for a total of three, and there are three more i had intended to apply for this week, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

i've got a few hours before i need to visit the land of the unemployed. maybe i'll apply before i go. because, after all, i know i am a total slacker...but they don't need to know it.
