Funemployment, Day One Hundred Sixteen: The Funemployment Club

sadly i have more and more friends who are losing their jobs lately. like, enough friends that i always have someone to invite on my funemployment activities and never have to repeat in a week. sad, but true. so i'm thinking of starting a club and/or support group. but without the steps, self-pity wallowing and gloomy church basement.

i'm thinking we could get together once a week and do something we couldn't have done while working and at least make some lemonade outta these funemployment lemons. like go to a museum on its free admission day. or hit the beach on a weekday when it's not insanely crowded. or take advantage of all the restaurant early bird specials popping up lately. or my favorite, have lunch at the griddle, where you can't even get in on a weekend!

but whatever we do, i'm thinking of imposing a ban on the annoying jobhunting questions i've been inundated with for months. i know everyone just wants to help but i can only repeat my depressing and futile jobhunting history so many times a day before i start telling people i've stopped looking for a job and am now looking for a sugar daddy. yes, i've tried that job site (i've tried ALL the job sites!). yes, i've met with placement agencies. no, i haven't gotten any responses. yes, i'm on linkedin. no, just because i once liked the x-files doesn't mean the fbi forensics team will hire me. and no, dad, i don't want to be a paralegal or work for so cal edison.

so if i do actually make this happen, i'll spread the word. hopefully it'll give people a break from the jobhunting grind. and hopefully soon we won't have any members left. but until then, bring on the griddle celeb sightings!
