Fine! I&rsquo;ll stay at home and go quietly insane from boredom.<\/p>\n<p>You&rsquo;d think there would be movies I wanted to watch on one of the streaming services. Nope! Anything I&rsquo;m watching at this point is mostly out of boredom. Remember I&rsquo;ve been looking for a job for 6 months, so I&rsquo;ve already been home&nbsp;<strong>way<\/strong> more than I&rsquo;d have liked to be.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve watched most anything that caught my interest after exhausting the job search from 5 to 12. My schedule was usually, get up, have coffee, search for jobs, have lunch, then watch a movie.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m movied out. I&rsquo;ve considered adding to my Itunes collection but a lot of the movies I&rsquo;d like to add are $20 and that gets really expensive really fast. I&rsquo;ve noticed that since the Coronavirus hit Apple isn&rsquo;t discounting movies like they were. &nbsp;Makes sense, they&rsquo;ve got a captive audience right? Why discount anything if you&rsquo;re one of the only suppliers and you know that people will pay top dollar to entertain themselves or their children for a couple of hours.<\/p>\n<p>I do finally know what it takes for me to do shit around the house that I don&rsquo;t really want to do. &nbsp;Make me stay home where the distractions are limited and I&rsquo;m looking hard for a reason not to look at my computer.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve started reconfiguring my home network&#8230; Just <em>for the fun of it<\/em>. Now, that&rsquo;s freaking <strong>sick<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>So today I&rsquo;m shredding old paperwork and statements that have been scanned or that I&rsquo;ve &nbsp;downloaded and filed.<\/p>\n<p>Why am I blogging you ask? Because the shredder is overheated and I&rsquo;m waiting for it to cool down.<\/p>\n<p>I swear I need one of those CIA grade shredders!<\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, the stacks of paperwork to be shredded have diminished by quite a bit. Talk about a fire hazard!<\/p>\n<p>Why do banks insist on sending the most useless bits of paper? Yeah, I know I added your freaking card to apple pay. I had to call you to do it so why are you sending me 3 individual letters stating that I did it on 3 devices?<\/p>\n<p>Really? Are you trying to kill a forest?<\/p>\n<p>Shredder is cooled down again&#8230;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Back to my imitation of a Hillary Clinton Aide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OH God!
