Unemployed and thinking outside the box
You lost your job. You could blame your boss, the economy, the government, your dog, your cat, or the Feng Shui Master that didn't protect you from mishap.
Or, you could get your act together, take this as an opportunity and move on. I hope will be ready when the time comes, but here is one beautiful and interesting webpage that did something extraordinary.
Not totally successful since some of those 8 have yet to find a new job, I am saddened to say, but it is a project that allows the development of new skills.
I follow 8 Good People over the last 12 or 15 months, and check on their state of being every now and then, but thought that it is a nice thing to share as well.
(and no, I haven't yet lost my job)

You lost your job? I've been jobless for 3 years and survived by freelancing - and I've never felt better ! Being on your own is the best thing, evah!

It's scary at times, when you think the exact same thing could happen to you. But as I read the journal entries, I couldn't help feeling that with companies outsourcing work to cheaper foreign labour, that I share some blame for the perils of 'New Economy'.
