Unemployment


I'm unemployed and it sucks. It sucks because I've had a lot of job turnover. I can see employers' eyes shut down as I try to shuck and jive my way into his or her good graces.

I want to go back to bed. I want my friend to buy me muffins and pat my back while I cry into my coffee.

I'm sure they're sick of listening to me.

Molly,
I love that fucking picture...that's hilarious.

I've been fired so many times because of my "sarcasm" or my "attitude" that my resume is a fiction novel at this point. I totally know what you mean as you go into a potential employer and do the "dance".

What kind of work do you do?

I'm still laughing at that fucking picture.

It's hard to take "Pinknest" seriously with that picture. What is up with that? What is the goal here? Cause Maulleigh to become even sicker with disgust? "I'm so sweet and cute and spaghetti-strappy with skinny arms and hide and seek hair, doesn't everyone want me?"

I'll buy your blog. But will have to replace you as CEO (with me), in which case you'll REALLY be out of work. Deal?

I have a cyber crush on Pinknest. Too bad she's got a LTBF. But his name is Matt, which is my name, so that's a start.

Uh oh, who da thought that there would be a blog war started at little innocent Maulleigh's pLace...it sounds like it would be a place you would go and have tea on a saturday afternoon, but its turning into battle ground. Waht have you started Molly.

I know!! I take an innocent little after-noon nap, come back to the computer and wipe the sleep from my eyes!

I got laid off earlier this year (about 6 weeks after my boss told me to expect a slow period, but not to worry), and I agree with you...it stinks. Thankfully, the free-lance market is not bad. I think you can free-lance at anything, pretty much. So, I'm sending good luck your way.

do you really want a job in the summer? i haven't had a summer off in a long while. enjoy it while you can. work will come back like an annoying ex boyfriend soon enough. time to plan out what you want and be picky about it. don't settle. btw, i've been trying to take your advice about deadlines. it was a good point.

dude. i feel ya. despite the thousand yrs ive spent in school and degrees i've acquired, nyc is not ready to bequeath a job to me yet. (bequeath...that's a word i haven't used in a long time) but it's cool, yo. i can just wait tables and have people talk down to me all damn day. this sure isn't the bright future promised in all those graduations speeches though...
