So it's my first day off, right? You'd think I'd stay up late last night, sleep late this morning, lounge around and play video games, watch movies and eat junk food, right?? WRONG!!! I was really tired last night, so I didn't get to stay up as late as I would have liked too... it's best I start from the begining.
I had a few friends over this weekend for my "Rob Quit His Job" Party. Sure there was a lot of hanging out and eating, but the big thing we did was go to play Lazer Tag. Not only that but there was a Makoto setup, a Dance Dance Revolution Machine that I kicked Ro's ass on, and that boxing game where you have to hold the gloves and move around a lot. I ruled school the second game of lazer tag--we played 3 20 minute games. And I Rocked the Makoto Machine--by rocked I mean I hit like 78 of the 80 targets and I cracked the plastic plates that you strike. What can I say? I've got incredible Bo Staff Skills. And let me tell you something about the DDR Dancing game. If anyone wants to lose some weight - that's the way to do it. Frickin' exhausting. Anyways, after all that, I was quite sore last night, and exhausted from a long weekend.
So I didn't get to stay up until sunrise and party like a rock star for my first day of no work. Instead I was out by like 2:30 am (Sad, I know). And then I didn't get to really sleep in either. Stupid dog woke me up 'cause she wanted to go outside at like 11:30pm--so much for sleeping in. This whole unemployed thing is crap. I mean, I've done some laundry and cleaned up my room... I've offically done more work here today than I did all last week at AWR. AND I'm still sore! So I guess now I'm going to go eat some lunch/breakfast, take a shower, and start plowing through some Classifieds. By the way, I'm totally taking suggestions on what I should do for my next job. Think of this as an interactive reality show... or something, heck I don't know.

Rob its me and I'm trying to get use to you and Rene`not being here its very hard and depressing so depressing I almost wore black today. At least I have B. Manilow and the swing cds to keep me going in the mail room."I wanna be just like you! talk like you! walk like you".

Poor, poor Rob. What a rough life you have!
Here it is ten till 2 and I am JUST NOW getting on the internet for "non-work" related things, and I'm actually working right now, I just decided to take a 5 minute break (really, just however long I post) and I still haven't taken a lunch break yet! Sucks to have nothing to do! I am truthfully just checking in to see if you still post while you are not working! Way to be loyal to us bloggers!
Well, I say go for teaching...or go back to school!

I recommend stripping. I mean, you're already HOT, but think about how buff you're gonna be doing the DDR machine twice a day. Smokin' hot. That guy from Smallville has nothing on you.
Oh, and from the land of AWR..I get to play supervisor while the bigwigs get to go meet in St. Louis. I'm celebrating by bringing in a Dunking Booth, and Petting Zoo...I need to use my power to it's full authority! Now that Rob's gone and is no longer putting the management into a weird trance, they can focus on more important things. Namely, me.

Alright Rob. After seeing your office supply combat post, I have been struck with a bout of offensive creativity. So I put a lil something together. I will instruct. Simply take a plastic fork, and break off the middle 2 prongs, leaving as little of them left as possible at the base. Then, put a rubber band over the remaining prongs, and pull one end through the new gap, pulling towards to back of the fork. Load ammo of your choice, and fire away. Beware of ricochet!

Let me be the first non-anon to tell you how bad you must have it. Lazertag, Makoto and Life Size Rock-em Sock-em Robots? Wow, sounds like this 'real life' stuff is kicking your ass. Next thing we know you'll have to pogo over a gum-drop bush and try to land in a pile of marshmallows.
I don't wanna hear it Mister. Although have you checked out Monster.com? It's my worthless school's answer to a carreer counseling service. But they've had some reasonable success with it. So check that out.
One last thing...a new carreer (which I can't spell at all...) I think you could become a pretty kick ass mail room temp somewhere. You seem to be completely qualified for that. Other than that, maybe right now is a good chance for you to use those graphic design/HTML skillz of yours to put together a kick ass looking comedy website. Just a thought. I'm just riffin' as I go here, spitballin if you're from tha streets.

The only reason you beat me is because I was on a more advanced level than you, let's not get a big head. And I believe both of us got kicked off the game because we sucked so much. So stop trying to impress everyone.
As for the new career, I think you should be a teacher by day and a stripper by night. In the summers you should be a massage therapist... oh wait, that's me. But I really think you should consider the teaching/ stripping thing, you'd be awesome at it. As long as you don't fall and injure yourself while getting up to write something on the chalk baord, or while your giving someone a lap dance.

Melinda: I'm afraid I'd have to put my money on The Creature from the Black Lagoon. No offense, but I gotta tell it like it is. Now if it was The Caricature from the Black Lagoon... That'd be a whole other story.
Tabitha: Ha ha. You've got to work today. Hey guess what!? I didn't! (P.S. This goes out to just about everyone here)
Kimmy: I expect nothing short of a raging kegger. I want strippers and funnel cakes as well. Make me proud.
Trevor: Weapon of Choice?? I'd say freshly chewed gum. Or lead shot. One of the two.
Scott: Like you're a model anything... Mr. "I allowed my empolyer to pay for my business cards that said Bad Ass Pimp"
Ro: Don't' complain to me about any frickin' handicap. ONE: You've played that damn game before. TWO: You're asian so it's in your blood. THREE: Not only am I NOT Asian, I'm so white I'm almost transparent. ergo' I kicked your ass.
Ah, yes. That is a fond memory. Even when it's thrown in my face it makes me laugh. That's what I define as sticking it to the man.

Let's see...an occupation for Rob. Just off the top of my head, I'd have to say...cracker salter? Sock model? Those legs are pure gold, baby. Hairy is in. Martial arts instructor? In the same vein, a how-to-injure-yourself instructor? Those are just a few exciting career opportunities for you, my friend. Watch daytime TV to learn more.
Hey, did you get my e-mail, fool?
Wow, you mentioned me more than once after my departure from AWR...I'm honored. I do miss the incredible energy you released when you entered that place. Ok...I'm over it now.
Being unemployed isn't as fun as being retired. Looking for a job is hard. Rob, you may have to work harder than you ever did before if you want to land a real job.
I'm going to have to agree with Tina. I think teaching is something you should consider. The money's not bad and you might even get the summer off (although you would actually have to work during the school year). I have witnessed you put a tremendous amount of effort into something you really enjoyed, so, maybe it could work. Everyone remembers their fun teacher, you like to be center of attention.....
Well, I too have a job to look for.

P.S. Hi Freemama!
My advice: Comb through the classifieds looking for the oddest job that you are only tangentially qualified for, apply to it using a bit of creativity in your resume, and convince the bossman in your interview that you're a spunky go-getter who learns quickly and *loves* to work hard. It worked for me. A year ago, I was a temp at Fleet Bank hauling boxes of files around and now I'm a mid-level employee in a highly specialized career field with kickass benefits and a damn good salary for a nonprofit employee. It's all about reaching out to the odd jobs and showin' 'em a little love.
