January 8, 2010

Alright, folks – it’s been quite a while and I can’t say that not blogging has done anything good for my life, so we’re back in action, completely funemployed and making the most of it exactly 1 year post-buyout.
I decided that a roundup of 5 Things I Learned Being Funemployed This Year would make up for the, oh, 6 month hiatus. Should I give you six things? Okay, six.
1. You Can Get Free Therapy.
Ok, well, not entirely free, like, forever, but honestly – if you appear to be in serious crisis, nice people like social workers have an obligation to help you out even if you can’t pay (or say you can’t pay). And this is, like, really super helpful when you’re funemployed and feeling like you can’t go on another minute ‘cuz you just can’t believe the mess you’ve gotten yourself into/made of your life.
2. Babysitting. Pays. WELL. (aka The Illegal Economy Is Good For You)
If you are living in a big city where there are still asshole bankers taking home multimilliondollar salaries paid for by taxpayers, then there are some multimilliondollar families looking for smart, well-educated, desperate young people to take care of their snot-nosed brats for anywhere from $15-$20 per hour. Some families pay for health insurance and apartments, even if you’re not live-in. I know people making $800 per week with insurance as nannies. It’s a good job, trust me, I’ve done it and I’ve lived to tell the tale. Some of the kids are actually quite nice and relate well to adults. Also, if you’re enjoying the work, it’s quite easy to add value and make yourself indispensable to the family while still having enough time to write your memoir or blog or whatever during playdates.
3. Savings accounts, CD’s and IRA’s are good things. Make them now, while you still have a job.
Seriously. Nothing can replace a rainy-day fund. If you have a job now, I would seriously consider cutting back on Thai takeout in order to put that $20 bucks in an account for the inevitable day you get laid off or fed up and quit your stupid 9-5 (or 8-10 as it may be). You’ll thank me later. This is my Suze Orman moment for the day.
4. Food Stamps and Medicaid Are Good Things, Too.
Ok, so I know a lot of people who went on food stamps and medicaid this year. You have to earn less than $208.00/week (legally) in NYC in order to qualify for Medicaid (I think food stamps require a slightly less destitute form of poverty), but if you can get them, they’re actually quite the money savers AND Medicaid is more comprehensive than many employer-sponsored health insurance plans. Just sayin’.
5. LOST Is The Best Show On TV.
I spent my September 2009 watching Seasons 1-5 and have come to the unequivocal conclusion that yes, LOST is the best show on TV BY FAR.
6. You can sell knitwear online, blog and find a readership, learn to teach and then quit teaching because it really sucks, become a nanny/babysitter and have a part-time marketing job all in one year.
Because that’s what I did, and I have to say that I enjoy my life now more than ever. Yes, even more than high school. Well, maybe not really. But I do have better and more frequent sex now, and that’s got to count for something.

If you’re one of those unemployed people who uses their free time to “be creative,” check out Age of the Cake tomorrow at Envoy Enterprises gallery, where you can help Mexican musician/artist Lazaro Valiente create his show live at the gallery and in the hours leading up to the exhibit on his Web site.

Valiente will spend the evening channeling music-makers who died or were born on July 31st; playing radio excerpts aired on previous 7/31s, and celebrating historic events with sound or music. Plus, you can pick up discount beer tix at the gallery, which can be redeemed next door at LES dive Home Sweet Home.
All the Deets:

Like many other freelancers/work-at-homers, I sometimes (read: usually) struggle with remaining productive throughout the day. But this week, I’ve discovered what I’ve been missing all along.
The perfect workspace:

In my living room. On the couch. Wearing gym shorts. Legs crossed. Coffee table pulled in tight. Glass of water nearby. And iTunes on full blast (today’s choice: the latest Phoenix album).
Ahh….
Ugh, OK – back to work now.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that when I get tired of working, I can just fall back onto the couch and take a little nap. Oh, and the couch sits in front of the window, so great natural light and no wasted money on the electric bill. Ten points!

Okay, so we’re unemployed and yet we can’t even get our shit together to post on this blog?! Are we for real?! Yes, unfortunately, we’re for real. Being funemployed takes a toll on your motivation after a while. Just take it from our guest poster, CH! (Also, this is our 100th post!)
Our reader, CH, sent this to us by email. We thought it was a fabulous condensation of all our collected unemployed feelings as of late. I promise this had nothing to do with our laziness. We would have posted this whether or not we were sleeping 14 hours a day. Really.
On a temp agency application sheet, our reader CH wrote: I am looking for an opportunity where I can create my own schedule (read: sometimes not show up at all) and continue to earn money (read: $65,000 annual base).
The sort of work doesn’t factor in my decision as long as it isn’t physical (though, I am willing to discuss homosexual pornography). However, I am willing to explore options that may differ from my employment goal (i.e., filing, doing your errands, ego stroking, scheduling appointments, etc) as I am a fast learner and saddled with so much student debt that it is difficult to be picky.

While your friends all get up in the morning to go TO an office.

You get up in the afternoon and WATCH The Office on Hulu.
And you get to drink beer, too! My choice today: Honey Moon, a Blue Moon seasonal special brewed with honey, orange peel, and both pale and white wheat malts. Yumm-O.

There’s gonna be a protest! Heads are gonna fly. Like Lord of the Flies fly.
Look, we know y’all might not be too into unions (assholes!) Some of our readers have expressed this to us in email form. But y’all gotta admit that $405 is not enough to live on (especially if you’re letting them take 10% “income” tax out of it. Puhleeze!)
We used to skip the protests ourselves, because we were working (read interviewing politicians, police and actors), but this time we’re gonna go, at least to document this lovely Depression 2.0 moment. Won’t you join us?

Thanks to our friends at the National Employment Law Project!

While every other industry dies a slow and painful death during the current economic crisis, one company is seeing a resurgence in business. The Daily News reports that the Mafia is “gobbling up gas stations, making loans to cash-starved businesses and acquiring buildings in swank neighborhoods, investigators say.”
So if you aren’t having any luck landing another magazine job and going back to Wall Street just seems too depressing, perhaps you should put in an application for the “family business.”

I don't think this is the mafia they were talking about.

The government, which runs the post office, can’t afford to pay return-stamp fees, and you’re left paying your own postage to return forms to the unemployment office.

I received a ”Job Search Evaluation” form in the mail Friday. It seems I’ve reached the halfway point of my unemployment benefits, and the government would like to know how I’ve been spending my time. The least they could have done was to include one of those little “No Stamp Required if Mailed in the U.S.” envelopes.

Sometimes, copying out of a resume book is just obvious. It is impossible for this individual to have held all of these concurrent positions, and if he did, I’d check his urine for signs of uppers.
Brief overview: In a matter of 5 years this person managed to hold all of these jobs in all of these places – Public Information Writer (California), Nursing Assistant II (CA), Substitute Teacher (CA), Article Writer (CA), Anesthesia Technician (Chicago, IL), Law School Student (Chicago) Quality Assurance Technician (CA), Quality Assistant (CA).

If you feel the need to set your alarm to encourage daytime productivity…

Yes, I set my alarm at weird times. Sue me.
It’s still perfectly acceptable to hit snooze approximately 13 times.

And now you're judging the fact that my alarm clock has a Ninja Turtle perched on top of it. Jeez, I can't win with you guys.

Meanwhile, you and I did not.

“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me!”

“I once was lost, but now am found…”
“Was blind, but now I see!” Selah.
The story: Last night on my way back from lower Manhattan, I was sweetly serenaded on the 4 train by a most righteous funemployed musician. His instrument of choice? The plastic electric saxophone (sounds like a bassoon, since you asked). His song? Amazing Grace. You can send condolences to funemployednyc@gmail.com. I have video, but I spared you.

Folks, because of popular demand, your dedicated Funemployednyc.com writers are creating a new (and dynamic!) series of posts called “Resume FAIL” to highlight the hilariously pathetic resumes/cover letters that are posted in the New York City Craigslist resumes section.

The Amish get laid off. That’s right, the economic slump depression has hit the Amish! (They work too damned hard anyway.) Some communities are suffering an unemployment rate as high as 19%. They’re about as bad off as black men.
I just wanna know one thing. How do you sleep at night after laying off an Amish person? I mean, really.

"They told me down at the plant 'today's your last day.' I wish I was allowed to cuss them out."
And the Amish church is starting to rewrite the good book, allowing folks to tap Uncle Sam for that UI Benefit.
From The Los Angeles Times:
The Amish church frowns on government aid, but it relented on unemployment checks after a wave of layoffs stung laborers in this settlement about 90 miles south of Indianapolis…
The March unemployment rate in LaGrange and Elkhart counties, where much of Indiana’s Amish population is concentrated, stands near 19%, about 4 percentage points higher than in Wayne County, Mich., home to Detroit and the American auto industry.
If the Amish, the most hard-working folks I can think of, are not able to keep jobs, then the rest of us are definitely going to hell.

This is what the gurus mean by branding yourself.

To get a job in this economy: 1) be young 2) get a large tattoo of something “hipster” or ironically self-referential in a racist sort of way 3) lie, cheat, steal 4) get the job.
It’s not just Kari Ferrell, folks. I’ve known several people who got jobs basically because they had a 1/2 sleeve, tribal earrings and wore the expensive (read Barney’s) Converse. Granted, they don’t have “wanted” posters with their names on them and they are damned good at the jobs they get, but “on paper” they aren’t qualified. It used to just be “who you know.” Now, it’s what you look like. Remember, your look is your resume. Hone it. Own it. Work it.

Translation: The French do it better. Protesting, that is. Yes, laid-off Americans might be angry, they might squat in their factories or even punch Dick Fuld in the face, but the French?
The French fucking kidnap their company’s owners and hold them hostage for severance packages. They call it Bossnapping. That’s gangsta. That rocks*.

Bossnapping the boss who's younger than you.
From FindingDulcinea.com:
At 3M, a company known for its Scotch tape and Post-it notes, Luc Rousselet, an industrial director, had to sleep on cardboard for two nights, though he dined on mussels and French fries that workers brought. Rousselet was let go unharmed after agreeing to give laid-off employees additional pay.

Do you ever, like, just really need a break from thinking about how down-and-out you are? When you read the news headlines about the economy (like how the banks all of a sudden are operating in the black, after getting us all laid the fuck off?) do you get so angry your face turns red? Have you noticed how much more interesting (not enjoyable, not comfortable, definitely not accessible, but interesting) New York has started to look since you became funemployed?
Well, I do! And so it’s high time, I imagine, for a respite, a day of rest, from the stress of not having a job (ha ha!) and for some celebration of the fact that we’re living history – we’re the first 4 million unemployed people during the 2nd Great Depression! Okay, so that wasn’t as funny as I thought it’d be in my head.
Folks, I need a break. It’s time to watch some movies! And, not just any movies – I have chosen for our viewing pleasure two movies that glamorize the funemployed experience in New York City:

Sometimes, when I have nothing else to do, I google phrases like “unemployed” and “unemployment” just to see what’s out there for people like me. Today, my search yielded a cartoon dragon begging for a job. Rawr:

Maybe we’d have better luck finding work if we were willing to be paid in cattle or princesses. Something to consider.

You can’t afford COBRA, even with the 65% subsidy, so you go off your meds (this time for good) and replace them with herbal supplements.

From left to right: magnesium (headaches), skullcap/St. John's Wort (depression), feverfew (migraines), St. John's Wort (more depression), Omega-3 oil capsules (yet more depression), Effexor XR (the med from hell!!!)
I have to say, after going to an herbalist and having about a week and a half of full-blown withdrawal, I’ve never felt better. It’s like that freshman Nietzsche seminar never even happened.

Tracy Jordan. Or is this Tracy Morgan?
With Buffy out of the way, I decided to go back through my DVDs and find another, possibly lighter show to help me pass the time. I’m all for ancient demons and fateful battles, but an unemployed person can only take so many apocalypses before the end of the world starts to mirror real life.
So I pulled out my 30 Rock DVDs and was instantly reminded of how hilarious the show was from episode one. And with that, I will let Tracy Jordan impart an AIDS-injected chicken nugget of wisdom to all of the unemployed people out there who have no quality of life now that they no longer have jobs.

An employed person, stressed out from having to hide his good fortune from all of his unemployed friends.
Don’t lie. You’re unemployed, and you probably spend at least 75% of your day feeling sorry for yourself, worrying how you’re going to make it without a steady paycheck, missing old co-workers, and essentially wallowing in your own filth.
But now, Newsweek reveals, you’ve been feeling sorry for the wrong person. Your employed friends have it much worse than you do!
