Have you ever found yourself lying in bed on a Sunday night and thought to yourself all of the things that you would rather be doing the next day instead of going to that hell-hole that you refer to as work? Sure you have.. who hasn't. For months I considered the upside of the avian flu or some rare African disease that would just allow me to watch The Price Is Right at my leisure.
Amazingly after only working at my first job for 18 months and hating my life for 12 of them, I was given the rare African disease of my dreams without all of the sickly side effects. On inauguration day 2009, I was handed the best news of my life. I was being laid off and given 6 months of severance for the trouble. I will repeat that number again my former company is going to pay me for doing whatever I want for half of a year!
This rare situation is something that I like to refer to as The Unemployment Lottery. This blog will chronicle some of my experiences as I live the proverbial dream. I hope to hear stories of people in similar situations or suggestions of what people would be doing if they were given my opportunity.
