I've lost my job!

Yesterday I was escorted from the premises of a broadband company that I had worked for for a year and a half. Im 32 years of age and have never been unemployed before bar a stint as an actress in my youth. That lasted about three days until I became a true actress and got a job as a waitress.

Im determind to do a few things with my free time which I have listed in no particular order.
1. Hide my unemployment from my mother – she still hasn’t gotten over the ‘actress’ phase and I think that the story of my being manhandled out of an office would tip her over the edge altogether.

2. Lose two stone. Ive been blaming my fat ass on the office lifestyle. I cant hide my blatent disregard for the food pyramid behind the office excuse any longer. Mars bars are not a food group – I will accept and embrace this fact.

3. Get a job as a presenter. On the telly. Like that Fern Britton wan. I could talk at length about things that Im not afraid that my mother will find out about. Obviously the sacking wouldn’t be a topic I would cover. She’d ring in on the comment line to berate me and tell me that my granny would be ashamed and ask me would I pick up a packet of marrofat peas for the dinner.

4. Stop buying crap that I don’t need from JML. Im now broke and seriously, how many impliments does one need to chop veg?

5. Not get into the habit of getting up at three in the afternoon. Im going to be super-productive-girl and get up at a normal hour and get things done like those super productive people who get up at a normal hour and get things done.

6. Wean myself off my ‘terrible TV’ addiction. Most notable being Americas next top model and Most Haunted. LOVE them both. Bring back Derek Acorah’s all I can say. Scouse flavoured ghosts are the best.

I'm scared :(

Dear gainfully unemployed, you'll have to post the story of what lead to you being manhandled out of your office!

Yes, inquiring minds need to know what happened?

My manhandling wasnt for any great or exciting reason unfortunately - just a little corporate espionage.
Actually, I handed in my notice to go to work for another telecoms company and I was escourted from the office. I suppose I should feel flattered really!
