10 Embarrassing Unemployment Exploits

Jump to Comments

1. I scoured my house for change, rolled it up and took it to the bank – $39.50 in my bank account. Cha-ching.

2. I stooped to see Enchanted on Netflix. Why are all the “instant-watch” movies so offensively bad?

3. I contacted a sorority sister in CA who I haven’t talked to in years to tell a NY recruitment agency to give me an interview. GOT IT! Hours of paperwork later, I discovered I’d applied for the same position months ago through my networking prowess (obviously didn’t get it).

4. Bags of Pop Secret™ Homestyle popcorn have found their way onto my lunch menu.

5. I SLICED MY HAND.

6. I’m taking an obscene amount of pictures of Gizmo, my cat.

7. Birthing a blog is the most exciting thing I’ve done since getting laid off.

8. Some days I never see outside…

9. I think I gained a pant-size. Less Enchanted, more aerobics…

10. Worst of all, I broke down and reeled in a Mom & Pop loan, but I’m in my 20’s, so it’s still ok? Right?
