Day 1 of being unemployed

My last day falls on 14 May. But it's a Sunday.  We don't have school on Saturdays and Sundays so technically, my last day falls on 12th of May, Friday. I couldn't finish packing up my stuff and I left something important at work. I have to go back and retrieve it and finish packing. I woke up with an alarm but I set it slightly later. Took my time to get ready and head to work.  I woke up hungry so I went to get breakfast for myself and my colleagues. It's a routine I have for workdays.  Reached work and everything feels the same except I don't have classes to rush to, no work I have to do. Colleagues knew I was coming back. I don't usually leave my place in a mess. It was in a mess because I was chased off on Friday.  Ate my tea leaf eggs at my desk as I chit chat with my school counsellor, PY.

  That's a wee bit of how I feel right now. Sad that's it's over. But a hell lot of excitement, hopefulness, curiosity of what's to come next. Hi, we haven't had a formal introduction. I'm Brienne. I'm from Singapore.  I became unemployed today. I've been working since I was a teenager.  No grad trips, no month long holiday or a hiatus of any sort.  I don't mean short week trips or a 10-day trip.  In fact, my longest trip of any kind was exactly 10 days. I'm not talking about taking a holiday.  But I'd love to just be unemployed for a while and just chill. Or like what Kevin Kelly said, you need to spend some time just goofing off, doing nothing .  Take it from Kevin Kelly pic.twitter.com/2NrVOo7adu — Paul Millerd (@p_millerd) May 11, 2023 So, I'm going to just do that for a while.  --- If you're from Twitter, say hi! Glad to see you here.  Send me a dm or comment below.  Have a beautiful life!
