Ask and ye shall receive Montana...from none other than the Queen of unemployment!

1. Put the television on MSNBC or CNN in the background when you're home. You'll feel like a productive member of society and watching the Dow plunge as our economic system sits on the cusp of extinction can be suprisingly entertaining!

2. Cook things...things that take way to long to bother with when you're working...no not crack...FOOD! I made beef stew the other day, which takes like 3 hours

3. Read shit that you normally wouldn't have the time or patience to read...even if you're broke the library is free. I always feel like a bad ass when I walk out of the library with books, as if I've stolen them from Barnes and Noble...hehe..

4. Call all of the people you've been "meaning to call" for the last 12 years

5. In all seriousness, make a plan for the day and do it. Even if it's something stupid like "wake up before noon and do the dishes." It help avoid the "I'm a waste of space" feeling, which is just not true.

When all else fails, masterbate..

LK's was a bit more positive than mine, but I think I've gotten to the point that if you can't laugh at your pathetic ass, then you're just gonna cry when everyone else does... hahaha, here goes...

1. Go to your part-time job and complete menial tasks to make a minor attempt to increase your self-esteem and self-worth.
"Have you seen our new sweaters? We JUST got these in for Holiday!"
"Do you need those Long and Leans in a Regular or Ankle length ma'am?"
And my favorite "would you like to open a GapGard today? You can save 20% off your purchase AND put your family one step closer to food stamps when you can't afford to pay our astronomical annual fee and finance charges!"

2. Do at-home Yoga or Pilates in your skivvies while hoping the neighbors can't see in the windows. And when you get tired, continue to watch the work-out while eating high-calorie, carb-rich sugar cereal.

3. Check your bank statement online - religiously. Pray that your unemployment claim that is 10 weeks behind finally comes through, then weep after seeing how close your coming to complete destitution, while also rejoicing on the days that your part-time job desposits the $67.04 that you made the week before. (yeah, it's sad - but that's beer money bitches!)

4. In the middle of the day, Call ALL of your friends that have jobs... you know that they're busy, but you aint got shit to do. Remind them that you just woke up an hour ago, and then ask if you can borrow 20 bucks for beers this weekend :)

5. And finally, when you're at your breaking point... check the local craigslist ads for adult gigs. See if your dream of becoming a dominatrix may just become a reality, thanks to that naughty little pig-boy that wants to lick your boots...
