The Face of FUNemployment

My friend and I are talking on the phone one day, telling each other, "we have to catch up! We have to go grab dinner! We do! We do!" but we haven't (in a year!) yet. And then my friend (aka "shorty" 'cause he my homeboy and totally not because he is vertically-challenged) says, "I want to hear all about your life. It sounds so great."

Me: Err...what? In what ways?
Shorty: You know, it's outside the corporate world.
Me: You mean, like, unemployed?
Shorty: No. There are two types of unemployed. One is unemployed and the other is FUNemployed. You're the latter.

What exactly does FUNemployment look like? Let's take a look...













And so much more. Tears and laughter with mommy (and daddy) dearest. Working out parts of my body I didn't even know existed. Hurrying to my car so I can drive and listen to Ira Glass on podcast. Prayers. Prayers. Prayers. Just because I don't have a full-time job right now doesn't mean I'm going to be moping at home waiting for the days to go by. This time is here for a reason and I'm going to make damn sure I spend it well.

How would you spend your FUNemployment time? Looking for a job? That's so passe. (Joking, please hire me.)
