8 New Good Things about Unemployment

Rate: 13 Flag

 

snow squalls

 235. You are home to enjoy the lovely spring

weather of snow squalls.  No wonder I’m under the

weather.

 

feet

 234. You are President of your Human Resources.

 

lunch

233. You get up so late, your first meal is lunch,

thereby practicing a new weight-loss method.

Yesterday, I ate everything in sight. It seems once a

month or more, this happens. Today, I just slept and

slept so I could skip a meal. I feel slimmer already.

 

sex

232. You have access to porn websites. Can you

believe I couldn’t find any decent clip art for this

one? Okay, I didn’t try too hard.

 

lobotomy

231. The corporate lobotomy wears off.

 

mission

230. You are no longer inspired by your company’s

mission and vision. You are on a mission from god.

 It's dark and you are wearing sunglasses, but

you've got a full tank of gas (metaphorically) and

somebody's gotta hire you.

 

cough

229. You miss your sick co-workers who come in

coughing with dripping noses, in order to save sick

days to use when they are well.  NOT!

 

smell

228. You don’t have to smell what your

cubicle-mate is eating for lunch or the discharge

during digestion either.

Always enjoyable unemployment info from you. I was just thinking of these today when I started thinking of one myself: If you're in Michigan, you don't have to worry about collecting unemployment for 26 weeks (they only cover 20 weeks now)."

Apparently I lack some particular perversion which today's employer is seeking

That means that everything I do in my home committs me to a quasi job of sorts. Not that it means too much while family consumes my lovely meals, and enjoys knowing that I have special dishes I have secretly trained to walk into the dishwasher. I've been working on it for years, but finally I figured if I just washed the damn dish, and was thankful for which I am for the food that is on it that would be it. Not to mention a host of animals that we have glued our selves to, a trip to the groomer when we find a magical 50.00 bucks unglues all the crap thats been pileing up both ephermatically, what ever that means. It isn't easy being empolyed, or being the corcorporate wife sponsor of 1,000 coupons to browse before shoping. It is a great way to cut down on shopping time, since it will take at least an hour to check them all, then go home inbetween to take a nap. The little dates on them kill me, but yes life at home as many remind me is a luxury.

365th should be - You can publish a manual called 365 Good Things about Unemployment every Unemployed Person Should Know. And it should sell thousands of copies to have made it worthwhile for you.
