Little did I know, a couple hours later my 50-inch Munch &#8220;The Scream&#8221; blow-up [...]]]></description>

Your layoff lady of leisure is discontinuing her 61-week underemployment lifestyle.  My nationwide job search finds me relocating to Santa Barbara, California for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the cranky old lady of the internet, social networking can be annoying.  Probably because I&#8217;ve done BBS.  I&#8217;ve played in chat rooms.  I&#8217;ve created avatars and connected with people in communities with full voice duplexing and text.  I&#8217;ve built web pages without a CMS.  But as I&#8217;ve said before, I&#8217;ve gotta stay hip with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve said it before.  Interviewing for a job is just like dating.  Do you have the same interests?  Do you like women?  Is there long-term potential?  The downside to interviewing is you can’t give a fake name or sneak out the back door when you see you’ve made a bad decision. I had a funny [...]]]></description>

I have become the little old lady of West Hollywood.  Being laid off, there are days [...]]]></description>

But when a help wanted/job ad says &#8220;profitable online startup,&#8221; that is not a positive selling point to me. It&#8217;s about as appealing as a partner telling me their Valtrex copay is only $5.]]></description>
