About the Laid Off Loser
What's with the name, Loser?
Okay, deep down I know I'm not a loser — nor is anyone else who loses their job. But getting laid off, even if it was based on tenure and the economy has gone all Titanic on us, well, it's hard not to feel like getting cut from the JV baseball team all over again. Plus I'm horny for alliteration. And I thought it was funny, especially after Googling "Laid Off Loser" and a link came up that had something to do with "a shirt covered in Cheetos." It might come to that.

Ha! Great edit. All my favorite scenes, except for the one where Smokey says, "You've got to be a stupid MF to get fired on your day off."
ReplyDeleteLike the blog. I've been on unemployment about seven weeks now. Hang in there, you'll get used to the weird/queasy feeling of not having anywhere to go during the days. And sleeping in after sending out resumes all night is a nice plus.
I'll leave my name next time. I'll definitely be back...
Thanks for writing, fellow "loser." If you want to post your info on the site, I'd be happy to. See the post "Become a Laid Off Loser!" from Thursday. Best of luck to you.
