LAID OFF: DAY 30
Well, yesterday, sad to say, I received my final direct deposit check from my former employer, officially ending our relationship but to be continued since I will mention them by name at some point, especially when they’ve gone belly-up which I predict could be fairly soon. But, that’s neither here nor there right now.
*belly up – the fate of so many companies lately due to bad business practices
Obviously, I’ve had to supplement a few things after realizing I can’t spend the way I used to spend although I’m still spending something that I feel is somewhat contributing to our downtrodden economy. First things first: I had to get a coffee maker to cut my coffee expenses big time.
*a great, great way to save money annually
I can’t really tell you how much this little switch has saved me but I’d put at somewhere between $10-15 a week, something that adds up over a years’ time. Living in California and still waiting on my first unemployment check, it’s no secret that the Golden State is strapped for cash, completely in debt but still, somehow, manages to keep its claim as the world’s sixth largest economy. Go figure.
*The California Seal of Approval. Pretty cool, huh?
Being out of work sucks but it’s not the worst thing in the world. As mentioned many times before, I’m starting my own business via website so I’m stoked. You’re looking at the beginning phases so I’m on my way, job or no job. Hell, I’m actually pretty happy these days. At least I don’t live in the south where many of the states with the highest unemployment rates (Louisiana, South Carolina, Mississippi) also have some of the highest amount of dickhead governors, the biggest prick of them all being Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. He and the rest of his Christian Conservative brethren are actually turning down stimulus money that would provide their states with more money for unemployment benefits, completely screwing over all those that are unemployed and low on money.
*McCain (The Devil?) gleefully watching one of his conservative demons speak
Yep, Gov. Jindal is refusing money for unemployment benefits because, well, because he’s a moron. He’s also one of these chumps who was originally Hindu and converted to Catholicism in high school. Not happy with your roots, Mr. Governor? If your real name is Piyush, why are we supposed to call you “Bobby”? Well, here’s what I have to say about that:
YOU SUCK ASS PIYUSH BOBBY JINDAL
Seems like it says a lot when the GOP spokesman isn’t even proud of his own damn name. Republicans want to actually let a man who detests his real name lead them to the promised land?
*the Republican promised land? But it’s just a light!
Let me put this shortly: LOOOOOOSERS!!!
So here’s my advice to all those broke and unemployed laborers in the south whose Governors will not be accepting more unemployment money:
REVOLT REVOLT REVOLT
*instead of a French flag, we’ll raise one of the U.S.A.
Bring back the French Revolution, baby! In fact, for those of you in Louisiana, it would be kind of ironic since your area was once controlled by the French. Start kicking ass and chopping heads. Take names later.
I would like to point out a few things since Laid Off: Day 15.
1. Why does the GOP continue to call the stimulus package a “spending” package when the whole point is to spend?
2. If businesses are getting hit so hard, why were there still tons of local Nevadans gambling, smoking and drinking at the casino my fiance and I stayed at last weekend?
3. If our country is so saddled with massive amounts of debt, why not legalize marijuana in all states, where the revenue would be a $500 million minimum per year?
Just some thoughts I thought I’d leave you with until we meet again.
