legs, hold their toes, and roll sideways, struggling to get back into position. It's fun to watch the first ten times. I've had two invitations to be a godmother in seven weeks, as if that would help keep the unemployed friend busy. Both requests were thoughtful and kind, and I was thrilled, but if I were working, they wouldn't have asked me because I wouldn't have visited them as much, or met their children, and it all comes down to my being unemployed. Now I'm the girl her friends call when they're having a meltdown, their hair greasy and stuck to their heads, stinking of sweat and baby vomit, when they tell me on the phone in a whispered voice that gives me the creeps that they're afraid of what they're going to do, and then I rush off to hold the baby while they take a ten-minute shower. I've learned that a ten-minute shower and the gift of going to the bathroom without a timer does a lot more to restore new parents than simple personal hygiene.

After this holiday season, I need a goal. I need a purpose. I need a challenge. I need a purpose. I need to contribute. I need to do something. I loved my job, but to make myself feel better about not being able to work there anymore, I try to focus on what I won't miss. I've worked with men most of the time. Most of them were a pain, some were fun, and a few were pleasant. I didn't like spending much time with them outside of work, which may make my next sentence seem nonsensical, but it does. Out of a team of ten, I slept with three of them. Of those three, I regret sleeping with two; the only one I don't regret deeply regrets sleeping with me. How unfortunate! I won't miss th
