"Unemployed" is such a scary word. I feel like it's obscene to be enjoying it so much. But given that he's getting paid while he's out of work, and that I woke up extra early to finish the brief I was writing, it's hard not to get out of bed, look at the surf report, and think "score!"

If you have to be unemployed, you may as well be unemployed here
Even though he is temporarily laid off, Jason still has school twice a week at the union hall. Today he showed up in his board shorts, sunburned and with sand on his feet, because we spent the day surfing with some friends that are visiting the island.

Too bad more of his furlow time couldn't have overlapped with the in-laws extended stay plans. Hope you guys have some good, fun waves.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteat least part of his time off will overlap with the relatives' visit, so it's better than nothing. Gets them out of the house at least.
