As an improvisational actor that craves being in front of an audience, the opportunity to perform in Rubber Chicken Theater’s Chicken Hat Plays is a golden opportunity.

Remember that week before you found out that you were gonna be laid-off? Remember the week after you found out you were gonna be laid-off? Yeah, it’s the truth. A lot can happen in a week. For instance, last week’s Unemployment Tip was to Avoid Relationships. Today’s tip is naturally a contradiction: Go On A [...]
A friend of mine is a kleptomaniac. As if that weren’t cool enough, she’s in her 80′s and doesn’t give a fuck. Her and I go out for lunch occasionally and the same thing happens every time. By the end of our meal everything that was on the table is now in her purse. Sugar [...]
From the interior of your car, you can see the homeless person on the corner with his sign. You read his sign and think, “I hear ya buddy. Me too.” Just then the honest homeless man sees you watching him. He starts to walk toward you. The traffic light three cars ahead of you continues [...]
Being in a relationship is great, especially now that spring is upon us. Birds are tweeting, bees are humming, and you know the couple that just passed you holding hands are totally gonna do it when they get home. Yeah, relationships are beautiful, except when you’re unemployed. The place you’re at right now is no [...]
IGNORANCE: The condition of being uneducated, unaware, or uninformed. BLISS: Extreme happiness; ecstasy. The ecstasy of salvation; spiritual joy. Eighteenth-century English poet Thomas Gray wrote: “Where ignorance is bliss, / ‘Tis folly to be wise.” According to the poet’s Wikipedia page (which was entertaining to read due to all the incorrect “facts”), Thomas Gray was [...]

Unemployment Tip #9: Stop Your Creditors from Calling You. At the height of my “popularity” among my creditors, I was receiving roughly 18 calls a day from the likes of Capital One, Bank of America, and Macy’s. During those first few weeks of unemployment, I decided that what little money I had would be spent [...]

Unemployment Tip #6: Embrace Your Family Remember back to your old job when your coworkers used to feel like your family? That’s because you spent 25% of all your time with them. But now that you’re “divorced” from your work family, it’s time to go back to your roots: your family…family. Whatever family means to [...]
Unemployment Tip #5: The “To Do” List A good “to do” list can keep you focused. A great “to do” list will change your life! The goal of this list is to keep you motivated, alive, and accomplished. You should have three “to do” lists: 1) the daily list, 2) the long-term list, and 3) [...]
Unemployment Tip #4: Be “Creative” Daily During the time between jobs, if you’re not careful your mind will begin to “go soft.” “Creativity” allows you to experience something new and grow further as an individual. That’s important! Examples could include: convincing a homeless person to buy you a cup of coffee attracting the eye of [...]
