		<description><![CDATA[As I continue to network and build my LinkedIn empire, there is an undercurrent of panic. I know I have about 45 days to find a job before everything stalls until 1Q10. I had four dates with my Outtie friends this week. Three of them aren’t even looking. They are enjoying their sabbatical away from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, where has the time gone? It has really been a month since I’ve lost my job? Really. If I were to describe this week I’d have to say “socially bananas.” It was Labor Day week, so there were a few cookouts. In between all that, the boyfriend decided to infuse some music in my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have to get a job soon, if only to rest. My availability is creating severe social distractions while my tan fades. My week started out of town. The boyfriend took Tex and I to Vegas and then up to UT to check on a condo he’s trying to sell. My excitement was centered around [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don’t envy phone customer service reps in any business. It is a thankless job.

My claim form hasn’t arrived, so another Outtie friend supplied me with a way to bypass the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since my first week of unemployment was unseasonably cloudy, I gave myself permission to extend my slackness into a second week. I was on a mission to be less white as well as to socialize with my other out of work friends (outties). I was very excited on Monday when it was hot and sunny, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is fun to watch the expression on people’s faces when I tell them that every career move I have made, with the exception of a move to Richmond, Va. for grad school and my California move, has been a result of a layoff or to avoid one. Confusion and concern are dominant reactions. Like [...]]]></description>
