What an exciting life I lead....

I am bored out of my skull.
I wish I could say that was an exaggeration - but my brain is actually pressing on the back of my head in an attempt to escape.
It's causing a boredom headache as a side-effect of it's bid for freedom.

I have no work. I've done it all. No one has any work to give me (because they're all bored out of their skulls too and are trying to preserve whatever work they have for themselves).
One manager will probably give me the most horrible assignment on the face of the planet this afternoon to try and complete in record time...but other than that the days and weeks ahead are looking empty and dull.

On the upside...my company is being taken over in 2 months time, and I really cannot follow on to it's new location (my family were trying to convince me to move to the new office - until they actually saw how far away it really is. Can I say I told you so?). Given that I have to provide 4 weeks notice, it looks like I will be handing in my resignation in the next few weeks. At least that will end the boredom right?

To top that all off - I have no alternative job prospects. I have applied for several jobs and have not heard a single thing back from any of them.
Today I have submitted my resume at my old company (NO I'm not silly enough to apply for a phone job - it's for a Data Co-ordinator, NO phone work required). So maybe given my previous work history etc I might get that.

Here's hoping - because I have just signed up to complete a Certificate in Professional Writing & Editing (cost: $1,000) and those who are close to me or who have heard the horror story I am now in the process of getting a root canal (cost: $1,200). So unemployment is not really an option!
