[...] up pages and pages of results, not that I ever Google it. I especially don’t search for “Norm Elrod” in my pajamas, late at night, while listening to “Juke Box Hero” on repeat and pining for the fame [...]

What a great idea. I totally missed the boat on that one. Maybe there’s some way I could combine the unemployment and the onesie. I’m at the point now where I’ll try just about anything.

This is a fun article. Thank you for writing it. When I lost my job from a clothing company called seedleSs. I definitely did not want to wear their clothing any more. I sold almost everything I owned of their brand. Then as a joke. I made myself a t shirt that said jobless. Since I went from seedleSs to jobless I knew this would make all of my friends laugh. I wore this around town and people loved it and I have made a lot of jobless friends. We have days where we go golf or do some random shit we could not do when we had jobs. But the kick was we had to wear our jobless shirts that day. We always made more friends that were also jobless and wanted to get down with us. It is fun and is now a real clothing company selling in malls and overseas in japan. Check us out some time. I also like to travel with my free time. Good shit!

Yup sporting the flannels and t. So much so, that I actually go out of the house like that…whether its too walk the dogs, go to blockbuster… whatever. No shame in my game – I hae bigger fish to fry and more important things to stress over;)

I used to wear a suit when I din’t have to… we were a very business causual kind of place and I am not a business caz kind of girl. I like dressing up – a lot!

Now that I’m not working, I rarely leave the house and am stuck in #1… I like my flannel jammies with my robe over it (and I stopped coloring my hair)…

About once a week I get really dressed up and go to Starbucks. My barista misses me otherwise… and it’s a shame to let my lovely shoes (with matching bags) go to waste.

Thing 1.5, because I’m my own Thing.

I was wondering if you are Thing 1 or Thing 2?

And one more reason that you might want to at least do a business casual outfit occasionally:

To make sure you will still have a wardrobe that still fits when you finally do get a job. Otherwise, your Christmas will be full of new clothes that are a size larger than you thought you were but everyone else can see…

In that get-up, you look like Unemployed Elmo.
