“The unemployment office, dude.”

“The what? Like, fer why, dude? Ya gotta apply t’be outa work now?”

“Dude, that’s just … brilliant!!

“Huh?”

“I get it now! Y’make it so’s y’lose yer job, ya gotta sign up someplace an’ say so! Needs t’be a place where they c’n send ya t’do this, so’s y’c’n wait in long lines an’ fill up both time an’ paper. An’ so’s y’c’n talk ta somebody ’bout yer predicament. Somebody who’s got a job!

“Dude?”

“Yeah?”

“Ya sound like somebody’s who’s fought with one too many security patches for Windows.”

“Stop Lion to me an’ think ’bout this! Ya got the interviewer, an’ the dudes what’s handlin’ all them forms, an’ the dudes what’re handlin’ the databases for all them forms, an’ …”

“Dude?”

“What?”

“What’s all this ’bout dudes? It’s the chicks what got all the jobs.”

“Dudes, chicks, whatever. The point is, they’ve all got jobs ’cause we don’t! That’s just wrong, dude!”

“So what’re ya gonna use for ‘prior work history’, dude? Payperblaug?”

“Aw, shaddap.”

    Hey, Dudes, I remember when your friend O’Ceallaigh gave me a hard time about payperblog. He said something along the lines of, “Yeah, well it hasn’t so much as bought me a cup of coffee. It still hasn’t bought him a cup of coffee since he doesn’t drink the stuff, but it has covered his ass — literally — since it bought the clothes he’s wearing. And let me tell you from personal experience, payperblog work is more reliable than unemployment insurance.
