Tory’s To-Do List for Unemployment

Hey guys. Just wanted to give you all a heads up that my MSN web series “HerSay” has come to an end. Ironically, the job ended right before Labor Day which turned out to be more of a Lack-of-Labor Day for me—and most of the rest of America I’m sure. Now to make sure I didn’t just sit on the couch depressed and watch Dog Whisperer marathons, I decided to set some “unemployment golden rules.” See below.

TORY’S T0-DO LIST FOR UNEMPLOYMENT

1. Don’t spend all my money

2. Try anything and all things to make money. This might include a Starbucks barista job or working at a local marijuana dispensary. Both have good benefits

3. Cancel expensive private trainer at the gym

4. Keep in shape by walking dogs at slightly higher pace.

5. Everyday try to accomplish one scary thing, even if that scary thing is just going to Target all by myself. (C’mon, that’s a fucking overwhelming store.)
