No Work Today!

So what's a day in the life of the unemployed?

Well, it starts around 7:45, when you wake up next to your also unemployed girlfriend in her Manhattan apartment. You get up "early," boot up your computer like you're about to get to work, but then spend an hour and a half reading comic books. After all, you haven't read the new issue of Incredible Hercules, or Jack of Fables! So then around 9:30, when your girlfriend begins to rouse, you brew some coffee and go out to get eggs and bacon. Breakfast at 10:15. Then your dad calls, and you tell him about your big plans to go to restaurants and bars today and basically beg that they hire you. Your will explain to these institutions that experience mostly consists of an English degree and many hours on Microsoft Excel. So, do they need help with either of those things?

This is unemployment. You spend your days searching and pandering. But hell, it beats office work.
