| After
I lost my job with Revenue.com I went out and bought a book called
"Unemployment Lines for Dummies". I was told it would be
one of those essential post-coital tools I needed to make "the
dot-not transition"...from my cubicle to my old bedroom at Mommy
& Daddy’s...from Armani to Garanimals...and from High Paper Net
Worth Individual to ’Paper or Plastic M’aam"...
I was
pleasantly surprised to find the book not only an entertaining read,
but it actually contained some helpful tips. Like, as the title
suggests, how to deal with the drudgery of the long lines at the
Department of Unemployment. Specifically, it cites how to avoid
getting drool on your Prada boots and how PLUS, there are come great chapters dealing with real-life issues: "Zen and the Art of Being Fired" "How
to Steal Wallets at Pink Slip Parties" "WAP Enabled Nipple Rings & You" And my personal favorite... "It’s OK to be 35 and living with Mommy & Daddy": This chapter was really wonderful. Reading it gave me a "warm fuzzy" feeling in my Ramen stuffed belly. Where once it was "tail-between-my-legs" this chapter really empowered me as I moved back home. It gave me a sense of individuality in the face of abject failure. I felt good about hanging my Morgan Fairchild and AC/DC posters back up on my walls. I started enjoying filing my father’s corns for him as he watched Wall Street Week and laughed at his son. And I just adored telling my friends I couldn’t play squash with them because I had to get home to clean up my room. Not only do I get to spend some quality time with my parents but I am really starting to appreciate what it’s like to be at peace with failure. All in all I really enjoyed reading, "Unemployment Lines for Dummies". The book is available at your local Soup Kitchen or online at Junglefullofbooksthatdoesntrespectyourprivacy.com Good Luck! |
