My beef with DUmmie Taverner isn't so much in his list (although I will give you a hint, looking for a job is not in his top ten), but with him calling himself "unemployed".  Being unemployed happens.  Being chronically unemployed should have a different name altogether:

10 Things to do when you're unemployed and bored
   

 
10 - Call your former place of work and ask for "Harry Butts"

9 - Finally watch the endless, red-herring, middle episodes of "Lost" between the time you stopped watching and the final episode.

8 - Learn to play the Sitar - IT ONLY HAS ONE STRING!!!!

7 - Discover an ancient ruin on Google Earth

6 - Count the number of times a specific DUers says 'well.' Send them several PMs informing them of this.

5 - Go find that Prostate gland/G Spot

4 - Put your finger on it

3 - Discover how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll

2 - Dress your dog up in S&M wear. Take pictures. Post on DU.

1 - Beat your head hopelessly against wall. Take aspirin.

7. Yes, but unfortunately you can't do this 100% of the time
   
Hence, the rub...

Taverner telling us that he is still working on #5 on his list.

9. That would be nice if I were someone who had a clue...
   
But unlike J.K. Rowling, I do not...

All kudos to her, who did...

But I am a lost soul...

Here's a clue:  you won't find anyone else with a clue at the DUmp.

That's very mature.  I see management in your future.

With a mind like that, no wonder they lost their job.

Um, yeah.  4 & 5 kinda shocked me.  What a weirdo!  Truly a creepy guy. 

Here's what Chan790 has to say:

I'm awesome...another interview tomorrow and this one pays more than the last. Not one interview thus far has been for a job paying less than twice the bank. That was truly the best thing that ever happened to me.

Sure.   :whatever:

Not good advice, someone could get a hemorrhage from hitting their head, taking an aspirin is a no no because it thins the blood.

Advice that stupid Taverner surely won't take.

The few times I've been out of work, I treated the job search as a full-time job.  No sleeping in until noon, watching crap TV.  Get your butt out of bed and make phone calls and apply for jobs.  Talk to recruiters on a daily or semi-daily basis.  That's their job, to help you find work.  That's how they make money.

The problem is that's how Taverner would treat a full-time job.

His job pool probably doesn't require a recruiter Ralph.

I know, BEG.  I just assume the best in people, and in this case I forgot I was talking about a DUmmy. :thatsright:

DUmmy Taverner's list of daily activities describes exactly why we refer to the DUmp as a monkeyhouse.

Well when you were only working 20 hrs a week for min wage, any full time min wage job will pay twice as much.   :-)

Hum. I am not even out of my old job yet and i got offered a position at the local school. Heck, i haven't met the principal yet, and got offered the position.
Just closed on the house. No problem getting a loan, either.

Maybe i just don't get the nuances of the DUmpmonkies perilous life.

It was all I could do not to look away at this point.
