Funemployment re-visited

More brilliance from iowahawk. A little taste:
Brian Smalley was laid off by ObamaStickers.com in late April. He didn't panic. He didn't rush off to a therapist. Instead, the 33-year-old Santa Monica resident discovered that being jobless "kind of settled nicely, once you get used to the heating grate."

Week one: "I thought, 'OK... I need to send out resumes, send some e-mails, need to do networking."

Week two: "Hide from the landlord."

Every week since: "I'm going down to the Ralph's dumpster for free brown bananas."

What most people would call unemployment, Smalley embraced as "funemployment." What other people would dismiss as starvation, he whimsically terms a "starve-cation."
As big time bloggers like to say, read the whole thing.
