I am officially unemployed and kinda pissed at my iPhone 4

I’ve been going back and forth on what I wanted to write today. It was supposed to be my last day at my former employer, but I ended up leaving earlier, because I’d done everything they asked me to do and I was just kinda killing time – something I could do at home.

So, I am comfortably unemployed – at least until Monday.

I celebrated today by going and getting my hair cut and colored. I deserved it.

I also might have taken a two hour nap.  At 8 AM. I can neither confirm nor deny.

I thought I’d feel different. I thought I’d be sadder. I was really sad for the two weeks and two days that lead up to leaving, but all I felt when I finally left was relief. Enormous amounts of weight lifting relief.

So, Monday starts a new chapter and I am super-freaking-excited about this new chapter.

I can’t seem to put how I’m feeling into words just yet, so I think I’ll stop trying.

In non-job related news – I ended up getting an iPhone 4 a few weeks ago, because my old iPhone 3 crapped itself and here are my thoughts on that:

• I shoulder talk because I think those bluetooth things are quite possibly the most ridiculous looking thing you can wear on your head and I have yet to find one that I can activate and get on my face when I need it – and I refuse to wear it ALL-THE-EVER-LOVING-TIME in the event that a call comes through where I need to use my hands – so if you can get that shoulder talking thing fixed, so I don’t hang up on people, that’d be grand.
• Hi. I’m fat. When I put the phone up to my face to talk – I routinely A) Hang up B) Dial random numbers C) Scroll through my Contacts and manage to some how cheek conference call in random people – like, my Dr.’s office – not cool. I never had this problem with my old phone – it seems like the screen would go inactive on my iPhone 3 when I had it up against my fat chipmunk cheeks – so if you can make that happen on the iPhone 4 so I can stop conferencing in my Dr.’s office while on the phone with my husband giving him a grocery list – that’d be grand, also.
• There is some random glitch with the OS on the phone that makes my email inbox have eleventy hundred empty emails. See screen shot below. This is, by far, the most annoying complaint I have because it simultaneously makes my unread message indicator show that I have unread messages, which I do not – and when you have unread message OCD, like I do, this is NOT a fun or neat trick.

Unacceptable "Feature" of my iPhone4

Moving on…

My current favorite person’s (formally known as, my coworker, Chuck) husband worries about me when he doesn’t see me online on Facebook – how cute is that? CFP is pretty freakin awesome – and the fact that her husband worries about me when I’m not on Facebook is either pathetic (on my part – because holy crap, how much time do you have to spend on Facebook for people to worry about you when you’re not online) or enormously touching – right now, I’m going with touching – because I’m not prepared to call myself pathetic. Yet.

Mr. CFP: You are almost as awesome as your beautiful bride. Almost

[I feel like I need to elaborate on my Facebook usage, before the folks from Intervention show up at my house. I use a 3rd party IM chat client called Digsby. I am usually signed into some type of IM chat throughout the day, by virtue of my job (working with off-site contractors) - this also allows me to stay signed into Facebook Chat without actually being *on* Facebook. So, yes, I am /on/ Facebook Chat all day - but I am not generally *on* Facebook all day - I realize this explination makes me seem even more guilty than if I'd not tried to explain at all.

Ok fine...I have issues - send the men in white coats.]
