For many of you, there’s a good chance this is #1 on your personal list of terrible things.
Is there anything worse than the fear and desperation that sinks in mere moments after you’ve lost a job?
“I can’t be out of work,” you think, “I have bills to pay, a mortgage, kids that won’t stop growing, and a million other things to worry about. What am I going to do?
And so you start checking the paper and the local employment websites before you have to actually head down to that sinkhole of human misery, the dreaded unemployment office. You won’t find a soul in that place having any fun! The staff is angrier than the people they’re supposed to be helping!
We’ve all been there. What we do for a living defines most of us. It moulds our image in the eyes of society, unfortunately. Personally, I have no problem carrying the luggage of ungrateful douchebags in order to put bread on my table.
It’s certainly better than the alternative.
Hey Hook – are you on Twitter? I think with your wit you could get quite a following.
Also I am anxiously awaiting the You’ve Been Hooked television pilot. I’m picturing The Suite life of Zack and Cody, but for adults. And funny.
No, I don’t Tweet, but maybe I should start! If I can find the time…
I’m still struggling with finishing the book right now.
Anything is better than the alternative! I am finishing my college education and seeking any job that will pay my bills and my loans! You are very correct, anything is better than nothing!
I hit the nail on the head sometimes! Thanks for the visit, my friend.
Seruiously, thank you. This blog doesn’t get nearly as many comments as “You’ve Been Hooked!”, but it gets more views. Weird, right? Oh well,..
I prefer the Terrible side of life, but You’ve Been Hooked is pretty awesome too. Great article and well said!
Thanks for the continued support, Jennifer! You rock globally!
Touche. Yesterday, I applied for a job at a convenience store…
I have a BA in English.
For shame.
No, you’re simply doing what you have to! There is NO shame in that!
The very thought makes my skin crawl.
Sorry to have creeped you out!
