#73 Procrastinating

supl on May 6th, 2009

Things are better off left undone - at least that’s the motto for those without a job.

Procrastinating, often times, is the best [...]

#54 Becoming Addicted to Any TV Show in a Marathon

supl on April 9th, 2009

One thing unemployment does is it breaks down the wall between television snobs and the crap that is played non-stop on TV.

#44 Attempting to Learn How to Cook

supl on March 26th, 2009

#17 Getting Annoyed About Having to Get Dressed

supl on February 17th, 2009

Some days it just makes sense to stay in your pajamas all day when unemployed. What’s the point of getting dressed in uncomfortable clothing when all you’re planning on doing is staying in the bed or on the couch all day? On certain days, like when you’re expecting a package from UPS or FedEx, you’ll [...]

#12 Not Showering Regularly Because What’s the Point?

supl on February 10th, 2009

When people are freshly laid off one of the activities they engage in is figuring out sacrifices that must be made to make ends meet. Unfortunately, personal hygiene inevitably becomes one of the first to go not because of worries of using too much water or soap, but because they’re unemployed, and they have no places [...]
