I didn't let losing my job ruin my already planned vacation to Chicago 6 days later...I had a blast in Chicago and had way too much to drink. I flew in a day earlier than the rest of my group so I could have a day alone...I ate, shopped, and hooked up twice! I know, I know bad boy me, one guy I met on Craigslist while taking a quick break in my hotel room after lunch. He was some straight dude from DC on business. After that nice and quick hook up, I showered and went shopping. I met up with some friends for dinner and drinks. It was a Thursday night so they didn't plan on staying out too long. 11pm rolled around and they had to go, I decided I would stay behind and have a few more drinks, I have never gone/stayed at a bar alone. It was quite awkward, I was at Sidetracks and they had all these funny clips so I sipped on my drink and enjoyed the screen. Once my drink was done I went next door to Mini bar where I met a really cool. 2am rolled around and we are stumbling to my room for some late night action. The rest of my friends showed up the following day and they knew I had gotten into some trouble, the rest of the trip i didn't mind taking a backseat to whatever they wanted to do :)
It took me a month to let my pride down and apply for Unemployment Benefits, its been four weeks and I'm still waiting to be approved...
