Celebrating umeployment :)

I owe this blog to a sneeze. I've been surprised by this bodily reaction before. Like last time, on one such momentous sneeze, a piece of my "wisdom tooth" broke and flew right into my palms. Well, this one...this little darling came to me around 3am while I was talking to my girlfriends.
(One of them a would give a positive ID for the female reincarnation of Dr Jekyll himself, while the other is real life Melanie from Gone with the Wind).

Anyway, first time in my living memory, I had a sneeze that echoed in the room and reverberated back to me. At three in the morning, this becomes a fascinating phenomenon.

As an unemployed woman fresh out of college, I have unlimited time to ponder upon everything: how goats don't like heights, or what would a molecule be saying to each other if they could talk? Say, think of a water molecule.

Hydrogen #1: Dude, thats my date you're trying to stick on to.
Oxygen (visibly flustered): OHH!! I know him, he's-
Hydrogen #2: You..remember. Oh wow.
Hydrogen #1: You HO!!

Pardon me for my tasteless jokes. Like I said, my endless time is increasingly becoming others cross to bear. But I've matured somewhat. I haven't asked a carpenter to drive a nail into my ultrabook out of desperation, lately. I was young and stupid in college. Thanks to a well wisher who happened to be around, I was prohibited to let him fix it according to my requests, although I heard about a very enthusiastic carpenter who went looking for me.

Back to my new reality, I have access to endless time after I disconnected myself from social networking sites. Sadly, my idea of a belated enlightenment never happened. I had so much spare time left and unlimited internet connection in reserve, I started to rot (figuratively).
But bless my internet connection, they popped up as tab in my browser like Jacob Marley out of nowhere to tell me:

"I know you're subscribed to unlimited internet connection, but you can't do this to us. Go get a life".

Ouch.
