To blog or not to blog
Welcome to Friday. It’s been a long week. I’ve been a day ahead since Monday. So today should really be Saturday but it’s not. I would shed a tear but I’m not that attached to specific days of the week considering everyday can be a Saturday when I’m not in contract work land. Earlier today [...]
The McNulty complex
Passion. Enthusiasm. The quest for knowledge. In normal circumstances, these are terms that are quite positive and can be highly beneficial to those currently in a job and those searching for one. But there is a dark side. What happens when someone is blinded by their own neurosis and obsession over finding the one perfect [...]
Unemployment party in New York City
We cool kids of the unemployed have our own subculture of understanding. You see, we help each other out. An e-mail here, a word of encouragement there, it’s all about the ping, tweet and comment. And thus here’s my fist pump to my New York crew. We’re putting aside our West vs East side battle [...]
I love credit card companies redux
Credit card companies are my BFF. No, not in the sense that I’ve been living off of them and evading the numerous 1-800 and unavailable calls several times a day, but in the sense that they are helping me stay fiscally responsible.

Lessons from Zack Morris: how to always remain on top
I spent the greater part of my childhood watching TV. My parents were never very happy about this. It’s not to say that never left the house or my plastic bubble. I was involved in dance, theater and tried my hand at sports but on most Saturday mornings you would find me in my living [...]
Working in contract work land
I am home. It was a long day that ended with me falling off the money wagon. To my defense it was about meeting up with a friend and talking about life goals and work empowerment. Ok so it was really an excuse to grab a drink with a friend after a long day, but [...]
Back to the land of breathing through my nose
I am finally feeling human again. I am kinda excited about this. Today marks day two of no DayQuil, and as much as I liked chugging the horribly tasting orange gunk it feels good to wake up in the morning and not be in a head cloud of medicine. It helped that I also slept [...]
Unemployment doesn’t mean sick days
I haven’t needed to take my DayQuil today. Three cheers for that! However I do want to crawl in bed and sleep for the next fifteen hours but I have work to do so I can’t. So much for sicks day when you’re unemployed. I used to go to work sick. Not because I am [...]
Let’s do it, let’s return from Mars
I know I took liberty on the quote, hopefully Arnold forgives me , but I just got back from LaidOff Camp which I like to call my version of Space Camp. Even with the rain, the bottle of DayQuil I was chugging and the lack of actual space travel, it was well worth the $10 [...]
