I admit that spending money while you are unemployed is something you should take very seriously but at Christmas there still has to be something under the tree. So with my very brief list I headed out.
As I arrived at my designated stores, I realized that one bonus of not having a job is that you can go shopping while everyone else is working. No sneaking a trip to the Mall between conference calls or getting up early on Saturday to beat the mobs. Instead, the unemployed are greeted by happy clerks who are at the start of their shifts and are still happy to be there.
So for the unemployed while we may not have as much money to spend, we can at least take joy in getting a decent parking spot, avoiding long check out lines, and smiling clerks who haven't been working since 3 AM. While our employed friends are exhausting themselves at the mall, we can be at home watching "Its a wonderful Life" with our family. Although depending how long you have been looking you might be wanting to spend some time away from your family.
Today's No Job Joy is for empty parking lots and happy store clerks.
