A laugh a day... may not land you a job... but hopefully it'll help put a smile on a sad SLUG's face.

Check out these videos...  they'll turn your SLUG frown into a smile, for a moment at least as you see the woes of other SLUGS... until you remember, oh yeah, you're one of them.

 

 

 

 

 


Play some games...  so that your brain does not completely turn to mush...

 
FYI - This is not "real" Mahjong, but a simple find-the-matching-tiles game. True Mah Jong is a gambler's delight where you can lose big bucks, so as a poor SLUG, stick with this version.
 
Yeah, Soduku is not quite the fad it once was, but hey, another activity to divert your attention and kill some time.
 
Warning - Kinda frustrating, yet slightly addictive!  If you get past Stage 10, go ahead and add "excellent problem-solving skills" to your resume!

Comics... hopefully you'll find something that'll get a chuckle out of you today.

 Things I like to do while unemployed. 

(By John Henion, Feb. 13, 2009) www.unemploymentality.com

1.  Spy on my neighbors because I think they are polygamists.

2. Comment on celebrity blogs and ask them for money.

3. Talk to my dog like he's my employee.  He usually gets fired by lunch time.

4. Try to give myself corn rows.  It never works.

5. Learn totally rad dance moves like the robot.

6.  Sit in the park and wait for nice people to smile at me. Then I say, "You wouldn't be smiling if I was chasing you."

7. Follow around the turkeys in my neighborhood.  Seriously, there are two wild turkeys that roam the streets in my neighborhood.  It's ridiculous.

8. Try to get telemarketers to hang up on me.

9. Pretend that I'm back in high school but everybody likes me this time.

10. Stand outside of the window at the Bikram yoga studio looking really REALLY creepy.  That's the best.

And what do you like to do?
