146 Good Things about Unemployment

146. You don't have to let your boss cut in line at the photocopy machine.

145. You watch spittle bugs. They are fascinating. The froth that looks like spit hides froghopper nymphs. But guess what? The substance is not spit. It comes from their behinds. Watch the spittle nymphs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24Gh5dXtpBE

144. You make a strawberry-rhubarb pie on a rainy June morning. And while the pie is cooling, you eat an ice cream cone in anticipation.

143. You don’t eat Twinkies from the office vending machine. And then feel like you need to run around the block or throw-up.

142. You no longer have to nap sitting up with your eyes open, which is the only successful accommodation when attending business meetings.

141. Nobody cares if you lose your to-do list. And you don’t either.
