Here jobby jobby…come here boy…there’s a good jobby

Alas…

So what do you do with your day?  If you’re lucky you get up, have a cup of coffee or two, shower, shave, get ready to face the day then go out and face the day.  Yeah.  Dealing with the work people.  All day long.  Meetings.  You know, have to talk to the creepy old guy at the water cooler, flirt a little with the new girl, put in a days work then at five, hjt it.  Take off.  Go home, maybe have a beer or two.  Chill, cook some dinner, play a little xbox, maybe watch a movie.  Then it’s off to bed.

You know….

A regular day

For some of you.  For some of us it’s a bit different.

Oh sure we get up.  At some point.  Maybe not too early.  You know, cause we were up waaay to late last night.  Checking out the movies on IFC or Showtime or truth be known, watching the cartoon network.  So yeah we get up out of bed eventually, make our way to the kitchen, brew up a pot of coffee and stand around waking up, taking stock of things.  Trying to place yourself.  Then grabbing the first cup o’the day, make our way to the computer.  Sit down, turn on iTunes to KEXP or Indie 1031, then proceed with your daily “grind”.   Check the email, run through the job listings. Apply for anything.  Shit shoveler at the Zoo?  Here’s an application.  Enjoy! Booger picker at the nose dr?  Zing goes the email.  Stocker at  the porn store?  Pow!  application sent.

Basically apply for anything.  ANYTHING.  Then it’s off to the daily browse.  Start with Fark, waste some time there, browse a few other sites, Reddit, Lifehacker…porn…pretty much anything that’s even remotely interesting.

Break for lunch after a bit…then…the day is yours!  What to do; what to do?  Perhaps we could clean a bit?  Perhaps a trip to the grocery, but not too much.  Watching the budget and all.

Then when night comes the television comes on.  Waste hours watching cooking network.  Go to bed at 2 or three.  Repeat.

Tough life.  Boring life.  But there’s always Dines Drive ins and Dives.  Yeah, that’ll do the trick.

Hey you know what? F*(k China and the Chinese unemployed

Posted By KJ / 23rd June 2010

Digg linked to a story today about the poor, overeducated, unemployed Chinese.

I totally shed a tear.  No, really. I did.  Well, maybe not but if I cared I might.

Problem is I don’t give a rats ass about the Chinese unemployed.  I don’t give a rats ass about the British unemployed or the Indian unemployed or the whatever f(&king nationality you’ve got unemployed.  F*^k ‘em.

We’ve got plenty of unemployed here in the United States,  not surprisingly, your intrepid reporter included.

I can not bring myself to care for these people.  Really.  Where is the story on the American unemployed?  Where is the story of the Americans with Masters Degrees, plenty of experience and a willingness and ability to work actually not being able to, you know, work?

How about it Newsweek?  Or Time…or whatever.

Quit the whargarble and let’s find some solutions to the problems.  Quickly please.  Thanks.

Unemployment 2010 day 2

Posted By KJ / 25th February 2010

And so it begins…or continues…or whatever…

Day 2 of unemployment.  What the hell, I haven’t gotten any job offers in the last 48 hours.  What gives?  I mean, christalmighty, I expected maybe an hour or two but two whole days?  Really now?  So that’s how it’s going to be eh?  Okay, I can deal with that.

Not to make light of a bad situation.  But it’s my bad situation and I guess that if I want to make light of it, by gawd, I will.

Wish me luck on this exciting new adventure.

(or you could just hire me.  that’d be fine luck.  i’m just sayin…)
