In These Trying Economic Times (TM), millions of suddenly jobless people like myself are clamoring for an angle. I'm happy to announce I've found mine! Consulting!
Yeah, right, you say, every unemployed professional considers him/herself a consultant and nobody's buying it.
And that's where you negative Nelly naysayers underestimate me, because I have an angle. I'm calling my new business (drumroll, please) "Sensitivity Training for Former Managers of the Newly Unemployed."
Here's a free demo of lesson number one: Things Your Former Employee Does Not Want to Receive In a Fedex Box at Her Home Several Weeks After Her Severance.
#1: A formerly unbroken coffee mug from a team-building exercise.
#2: A ratty, logo-branded fleece from a supply closet she used to wear around the office to stay warm.
#3: An old "atta-girl" note from management.
My expert advice that will save costs on shipping charges (and it's all about cost savings in These Trying Economic Times)? Be proactive and do the following:
Sign up now! I only have so much time in the day between blogging, napping and watching television programs. All clients will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
And? You're welcome.

And I shall publish a self help book called "Working from home with a freshly unemployed spouse - I did it and so can you". The follow up will be "Axe Wounds - why they didn't stop me and they shouldn't stop you".
I love it! I'd like to sign my former employer up as a potential client. Though they have been extra sensitive to the fact they gave me that axe, I mean HR does send me job opportunities - the most recent one I got was a Nanny position in Cary and before that - entry-level accountant. Both of which I'm sure I qualify for given my nearly 10 years in advertising. Gosh, they are helpful!
I especially like the touch of the heart shaped paper around the mug.

Simply awesome!
