Are you recently out of work? Hoping to be let go, so you can move on to more interesting ventures? On your way to a shiny new job? Go read The Recession Chic Lie. A good read in any case.

Since I've been watching several of you board the employment -> unemployment ship lately, or dock and come ashore, I thought there might be some interest. Who knows, maybe I'll join you on deck soon.
