1 Year Anniversary of FunEmployment!

Next Friday will be the official 1 year anniversary of a few members of JahBlessed PDX being loving laid off. Wow, time flies when you’re having fun. And looking for a job. And being broke. And being “resourceful” (code for mooching).

What should we do to celebrate? We want to hear your ideas!

Send how you would (or have!) to JahBlessedPDX [at] gmail [dot] com.

Even the Employment Department is hurting these days. They won’ be open tomorrow in Oregon. But they did have time to find that cute little “Please Call Again” sign. Just what I want to see when even Ramen looks expensive. Oh well, good luck to you guys, and see you next week! BTW - Shouldn’t it be called the UNemploment Department?

“ Aren’t you all from the Midwest, anyway? Go home so the natives can get our jobs in the service industry back.
—
    A survey response featured in the Willamatte Week’s The Young and the Jobless. Sorry guy, but without ”creative” transplants in Portland, you’d have no one to A) Serve your poutine, wiskey and mimosas to, B) Give Portland it’s diverse, creative credibility and C) Stroke your ego by raving about how great “your” (ahem…our!) city is. I think Keeping Portland Weird, or whateverthefuck it is about this place we want to maintain, preserve, and appreciate, requires embracing the diversity of its inhabitants. Knowhatimsayin? …G?

    The Economy Sucks Underemployed Card. From PDX’s Snarky Cards “So your lover lost their job. You can still Do It with them. As long as they figure their shit out. Eventually. Making the timeline clear is an important part of this process. And I hope you notice, that this card is $1 cheaper than the other cards. That’s because I get that you’re getting this card because times are hard.”

    Unemployment, like prison, presents an opportune time to pump iron and read books.
