I explore what it means to be unemployed, or underemployed in this economy. I share from my own experience, the news, and from people I know in the same or similar situation. As bad as it is that so many of us are unemployed, at least we know that we are not alone. We’re not alone in having “good days” and “bad days” and frustrations, and bad dreams and rejection emails, and things that distract us and make us feel better about things even for just a little while.
