The Funemployment Line Never Looked So Good

The_blue_peter_yacht_Cannes  
If the papers and media are to be believed, there are legions out there looking for work. But curiously, the few that I know who are "between engagements" seem to be racking up the frequent flier miles and having what looks to me to be a pretty good time.

It seems most of the funemployed are spending time on the plane writing business plans and networking with others before they launch their own business. On the surface I'd assume they've been waiting for this moment to be freed from cubicle nation. It's the kick in the pants they've needed to go their own way, be their own boss and write their own paycheck. That is... once they've tired of the golf courses and parasailing.

Buoyed by severance, savings, unemployment checks or their parents, the funemployed do not spend their days poring over job listings. They travel on the cheap for weeks. They head back to school or volunteer at the neighborhood soup kitchen. And at least till the bank account dries up, they're content living for today.

So...what gives? Are you funemployed? Are those new flashy government checks that fat? Did you get a sweet settlement out of the deal? Are you a trustafarian? Is daddy (or sugardaddy) paying the bills? Tell me. I've got to know.

What the beautiful people are saying...

I want to be a funemployed! I'm so over my job now. I want to be offered a package!! Is that bad that I want to be pink-slipped when many are searching for work??

Something to say, gorgeous?
