My unemployment has officially run dry.

This means no more safety net, no more Netflix, no more Hulu Plus, and no more internet (except through the phone.)

This isn't a tale of woe is me.

I prepaid my rent for a couple of months and have some money trickling in from a couple of freelance jobs that I've managed to find.

This is the tale of how I entertain myself with all that yummy WIFI gone from my apartment. (NOTE: All my utilities are covered by the rent.)

• Opening the fridge to see if any non-poor college student food has magically appeared. I haven't been a college student for years. Where does this stuff keep coming from?

• Cube Tap Jenga. The game where you plug as many electronics as you can into one outlet using cube tap adapters. You lose by either blowing a fuse or if your wall outlet can no longer support the weight of everything that is plugged in.

• Hot Water Olympics. This consists of races between the kitchen’s and bathroom's plumbing. Events include; the race for the water to heat up, the race to run out of hot water, and individual timed events.

• And my favorite, how long can I last in my apartment with the heat turned all the way up.

I guess this why I will never understand the person that says, "Oh, if I were to ever win the lottery I'd have to keep my job or else I would go crazy."

Maybe it helps when you are already there.
