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.

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.
