Lose Your Job, Loser!

Posted Fri, 03/05/2010 - 18:30 by chuck

This is not just a blog post. It's the title of a future classic, and I'm claiming it right now.

Lose Your Job, Loser™ now belongs to me. MwahahahaHAAA! Stay tuned to see where it heads. Got a feelin' it's gonna be a good 'un.

Maybe it starts something like this...

Once upon a time, I was a just another piece of cubed meat selling my soul bit by bit. Ahhh, those were the days.

Searching For Lost Change

Posted Fri, 03/05/2010 - 14:33 by Get A Job Loser

Free money can be found anywhere people take their hands out of their pockets or purses. An errant quarter springs from the pocket while retrieving car keys. The rush to find exact change in a coin purse causes a few pennies to spill onto the floor.

Human beings, particularly those with steady employment, are incredibly lazy and the mere thought of reaching down for a dropped nickel is itself tiring. Your willingness to bend your back, extend your arms and pick up the abandoned change could become a mildly lucrative revenue stream.

Good places include under and around:

Busy, busy, busy...

One of my big goals for this year is to be able to state definitively that I have survived unemployment. To that end, I am hustling hard to try to build a business. This has not left much time for blogging. If you're one of the 14 people who wait with bated breath for my every blogged word, I apologize for not producing much lately. Hate to disappoint my "fans," but I need to eat.

Don't Be Afraid to Ask for Money

Posted Fri, 02/26/2010 - 13:56 by chuck

I'm busy with a bunch of projects these days, and that's a really good thing. Looks like I'm going to skooch in under the wire again this month and make my bills. Next month might be even a bit better if it ever stops snowing. You gotta get out there. The snow can make that tough, though if I weren't busy and needed money, it would provide a ready opportunity to pick up some cash. I'd be trudging around with a shovel looking for un-shoveled walks, banging on doors. You can't afford to be shy or proud when the name of the game is survival.

Why the IRS Plane Bomber in Austin Was a Moron

Posted Tue, 02/23/2010 - 09:05 by chuck

Last night, my travels through the blogosphere somehow led me to the "manifesto" (really just a suicide note which I am not providing with the dignity of a link) written by Joe Stack, the guy who crashed his plane into an IRS building in Austin, TX. Mr. Stack was not unemployed, but he was driven to a level of financial desperation that is tragically becoming more and more common.

Here is what I think about Mr. Stack: The guy was a selfish jerk and a big friggin' baby. I hope he spends a long time burning in the very flames he created on his way out.

What do you want them to say?

Yo, Thursday afternoon I rolled up to the crib an' the whole block was silly with 5-0 ... oh, sorry -- wrong persona.

Thursday afternoon when I got home, there were cops all over the place. My neighbor had died. Nobody had seen him for a while so my landlady called the cops. They had to bust his door down to confirm his passage.

wish I thought like Buddha not Budicca!

Feeling bit swamped by situation today. Have read blogs on this site before and felt it was really down to earth. Unfortunately I've got unemployment, debt and relationship problems, so can't promise you many laughs!! I suppose the worst thing is losing some kind of social status. And now it's jeopardising my personal status! Anyway, promise to come back with more positive thoughts soon...

Back in the Game

OK, the little interlude of self-pity is over. Everyone's entitled to a little self-pity once in a while, even if they have a steady government job not subject to the merciless axe of the Grim HR Reaper. Buddha was right: to live is to suffer. Why not gripe a bit when the pain flares up?

Been a little down lately

Posted Thu, 02/11/2010 - 22:20 by chuck

Just a note for regulars (all special 27 of you):

The point of this site is to help other people (and myself) survive unemployment. I try to make people laugh a little, give them a little hope, let them know about good deals like K-Mart's special card and the free phone thing, maybe proffer a little advice here and there.

Lately I'm just not feeling like I can make anybody laugh or give anybody any hope, and I certainly don't feel qualified to offer any advice on anything.
