Unemployment is sometimes annoying

I like* it when people ask me, "Well, where have you looked for a job?"

But let me clarify something. Most people don't ask as if they are actually concerned about my well-being.

Most people who have asked me that particular question, phrased in about that particular way, have been asking in the tone of voice that suggests they are about to catch me in a lie, and that all I've really been doing for three weeks is shuffling around my apartment in pajama pants and playing with my dog, all while expecting a job to magically rain down from the sky like heavenly paycheck manna. 

It's the tone of voice that suggests only idiots and lazy people can't find meaningful work** after a whole three weeks of job searching during the winter holidays, when Santa's arrival is nigh. They're waiting to see how long your list is, and it must include the following:  Northrop Grumman, school districts, municipalities/governments, Northrop Grumman, Chevron, and Northrop Grumman.

Secondly, it would be a pretty inefficient use of our time if I were to really go through the list of all the places I've at least looked for work. How about you just trust that I'm doing my part in the process and tell me if you have a quality suggestion, because your suggestion list is definitely going to be shorter than my job-seeking list. 

Thanks,

Your unemployed buddy

* Like = Hate

** meaningful work = something full time that pays more than $10 an hour. I have such high standards, I suppose.
