Perhaps the greatest, and most obvious, perk of unemployment is the flexible schedule. When I stroll down the empty aisles of Target on a weekday morning I'm often surrounded by listless employees and mothers hauling 2.5 kids around. This makes shopping more enjoyable but it's getting to the point where I might need to borrow a baby to fit in.
Another great thing about my flexible schedule is having a lot of time for travel. Last week I went to Portland, Oregon just because. Portland has become a second home to me, I love it there. On Thursday I went to visit NORTH, a sweet agency in NW Portland. They have a mural with unicorns, a floating conference room and everyone was really cool; what more can you ask for?
On Friday we hit up the famous nau sale and watched the sandcastle building competition in Pioneer Square. We also made it to the Nike store where I picked up another sweet pair of kicks... I think it's becoming an obsession.
We finished off the day with beer tasting at Rogue, one of my favorite breweries. All in all, it was a great weekday trip and I hope I have another excuse to go back soon.
