I’ve been a little remiss in posting lately, due to the fact that I’ve been meeting with a few recently unemployed friends over food and drinks this week. I’m not really sure why they chose to spend precious job-seeking time with me, considering my best advice usually goes something like this:
Friend: The economy is just awful and the job market is even worse.
Me: Oh I know. I’ve been reading all about it. Here, have a beer.
Friend: Yeah, and my former employer laid me off right before Christmas too.
Me: Really? Wow, that sucks. Maybe we should move on to shots.
Clearly I know just how to make a person feel better.
Anyone else want a free career counseling session with yours truly?
But... Will There Be Cake? 
I have a job, but I could use some of the advice you’ve got to give. ;)
If it includes free beer, sure! What? You mean they paid for their own? Never mind then. ;-)
I’ll have a beer with ya anytime!
I was talking to one of my friends yesterday who worked for a local radio group in town…he and 30 other people got laid off.
The office is only 100 people, so that’s a pretty deep impact.
Oh sure, I’ll take some counseling on the rocks with a twist of lime!
Sounds like you have a fallback career in place!
I’m sure your friends appreciate the fact that you listen and help them temporarily forget their woes with liquor. I know I would!
I think sometimes, “Here, have a beer,” is the best counsel one can give.
BTW, thanks for stopping by my blog.
I’m looking for work and a drinking buddy… let’s get together.
