The Unemployed

For those of you who haven’t been following my descent into madness, I’ve been unemployed since 11/20/08.   I quit, and I’m still damn happy about the decision.  I just kinda wish it was 1990.  Or 2000.  Or optimistically 2010.

So now that I find my place among the packs of people trying to find work during the biggest recession my 25-year-old brain can remember,  I’m trying to dream up bigger and better ways to get noticed by job recruiters.  I applied for a News Editor position for a local website about a month back, and they received 3,000 other applicants.  My resumes and cover letters seem to be going unread.

The other day, my two favorite muses, a friend named Gary and a Heineken mini-keg delivered unto me the idea that I should document this tumultuous moment.

So with that in mind, I give to you a new category:  Unemployment.  Watch my voyage into bankruptcy and hunger from the very front row!

Thanks Bear!
