They cry about what everyone else is doing, rather than worry about their own business. To the writer of the article: Good for you. There's nothing wrong with you enjoying your new-found free time and it is great that you're also using the opportunity to apply to grad school. Good luck!

But it makes absolutely no sense for me to be miserable, deprived and all around unwell at this time. It's only been a few weeks for me, but at 41 years old, I know that while I'm waiting for the phone to ring after sending out resume after resume, it's perfectly sane to enjoy the simple, inexpensive pleasure I could not only a month or so ago. A bubblebath in the daytime; going to the grocery store during the day when it's practically empty instead of packing myself into crowded aisles on a Saturday; getting a full eight hours of sleep every single night just because I can. I download audio books for free from the public library so I can keep the tv off and enjoy something new, fresh and engaging. While friends of mine (I'm sure) are certain I've lost my mind, I just can't imagine how running around like a chicken with my head cut off would do me any good. I might be unemployed another month or another six, but is it any better to feel and look depleted, anxious and stressed when going to interviews? I think not, so I've got to run now. Time for my steam facial. NO matter what I do, the phone isn't going to ring any faster, so why not be gorgeous, healthy and content while waiting? I start every morning with a delicious breakfast, a good workout, time for prayer and then I'm off and running to the sites. This economy might break my bank, but I'll be damned if it'll break my spirits. As Ali would say, I'm just too pretty!

Emily, quit your whining and sell your laptop. Tina- you are a rockstar and all the a-holes who are hating on your ability to enjoy your time away from a cubicle are JEALOUS!! Keep writing and living your days as you like! Even though I'm in grad school, live in campus housing, in student loan debt up to my eyeballs and buy my fruit on the street I would like to be your sugar mama.

Why didn't I think of it before? My god! Oh, that's right. Because I have rent, car insurance, a car loan, a student loan, and living expenses to pay for.

Their coffee isn't that great and it's way overpriced, but they have the most fantastic shrimp and mango salsa wraps! And I absolutely love sitting outside when it's nice--they have definitely made the most out of the space they have. I really like the new management, really nice people even if sometimes service is slow. The other day a girl in line in front of me was having difficulty making herself understood because she had a cold and the barista just made her a cold remedy then and there, free of charge, just to be nice. I love seeing things like that happen :) Glad to hear that the pastries are stale. It makes me feel better about passing them up every day despite intense yearning....

I don't think Tina was saying that her life was a lark-but I do appreciate her balanced perspective. No one wants to be "downsized", but ( and I do think this is a kind of revelation for a workaholics paradise like DC) there is a world beyond the office. One many of us don't necessarily explore even when things are just ducky. Best to you, Tina. And I am also a fan of Jolt 'N Bolt. Reuben I am in accord with Tina and my man the Prince.

I don't remember the specific dishes or how long they did that (probably under the previous owners) but we thought it was the most random choice. Perhaps because of that randomness, we often grabbed some when we were there to save for after our coffee and wifi excursion.
