Livin' La Vida Unemployed

To date, I've submitted resumés to roughly 220 different companies in over 10 states and 4 countries. This is since being jettisoned in the first round of layoffs in what would become a reduction in 94% of the workforce of my thriving former employer. Should I be questioned by the state as to my honesty in collecting unemployment checks, I think they will be quite horrified at the paper trail I will bring to them.

Today I surrendered some of the waning remainders of my dignity by filling out an application for a "retail" position at REI. What I did only a couple of hours later has obliterated any doubts that I have become a desperate, foolish man. Now some will unwisely think what I did was cool, or has the propensity of being cool. There is a slight possiblity that my action may have changed the course of my life forever.

I applied for a Graphic Designer job with Hugh Hefner. That's right, I sent my resume to Playboy.

I had visions of me designing away on my Platinum G4 Laptop while beautiful topless Bunnies played volleyball and croquet, and basically pranced around me topless. What guy wouldn't want that? And yet, the thought that I have become so low that I would go into the porn industry makes my stomach turn.




I hope they call for an interview!
