As I mentioned previously, this week has been declared Fun Week, but I neglected to inform you of the circumstances under which that declaration was made. Last Friday my good friend Jay was laid off from his job. Surprisingly, everyone was worrying about this fact, except for Jay. He had been working like made the last few weeks especially, and he had kind of seen this potentiality coming, so he let it just roll off his back with little worry whatsoever.

    He decided to take full advantage of the free time he’d have in between jobs, so he was the one who declared this week Fun Week, and he was kind enough to invite me along for the ride. Each day we’ve been doing various things we’ve been wanting to do for a while. Unfortunately over the past three days some of our plans had to be changed due to the insanely hot weather we’re having, but did we let it phase us? Heck no! We came up with something even better!

    Over the weekend, Jay happened to spot an article entitled, “10 Best Ways to Survive a Lay Off.” The list included various common sense type things, like making sure you have enough money saved up to last three months at least, not panicking, and so forth. But Jay was dismayed to see that Fun Week was not on the list, so he thought we should write in and suggest that as a potential number eleven.

    But then, on the very first day of Fun Week, we came up with an even better suggestion for such a list. Number one should definitely be, “Get yourself a Significant Other.” You see, the very first day of Fun Week included the official bestowing of certain titles that are quite lovely in my opinion. Someone very special gets to call me Girlfriend now, and I get to call that special someone Boyfriend. Ten guesses as to whom. 🙂 I’d say that has to be the all-time best way to survive a lay-off. Forget panicking, find yourself a honey!

    I certainly hope your Fun Week is going well, because you wouldn’t believe how fabulous mine has been thus far, and it’s only halfway through!
