A Major Recession Has Left You Unemployed - a list by er1n

Options for This Page

About this list:

So I was laid off and the only way I could deal with it was to make light of the whole situation. Make fun of the stereotypes, be a little angry, and generally be sad. I loved my job and really thought I was making an impact. I was looking forward to growing and learning - making this my knock out gig right out of grad school... but life has different plans.

Qualifications:

I miss my co-workers

Top Ramen

Description

So, this recession means you got laid off... it is time to cut back and for me that means top ramen. Though the prices have gone up on our good friend (it is like 12 cents now instead of 10 for a buck) it will keep you alive while you look for a new job. (via Nissin)

Southern Comfort Bourbon 100 Proof

Description

SoCo white label is my everyday drink, so in lieu of being laid off I am going to have to step it up a notch and drink a little harder to deal with the pains of unemployment. I will spend my last dollars on this 100 proof booze. (via BevMo!)

Sleep

You could be looking for a job or something because you were laid off, but really... you can just sleep because frankly it is easier and you don't REALLY have anything more pressing. (via Wikipedia)

Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

Chocolate and fruit. Probably the best thing for the unemployed. You can convince yourself you are eating healthy (the fruit) but still get fat (the chocolate).

Now that the recession has left me without a job, I think I will just park myself in front of a television like this one and think about how I've spent way too much money on two degrees in the past 5 years and how it has left me watching daytime tv thinking about how I should probably quit everything ever and become a dental assistant.

Good thing your roommate, spouse, child's paper route is paying for this because without a job your money is running low. However you are running high on time to catch up on all those movies you missed while you were working... (via Netflix)
