You know what's worse than not being able to find a job? Having a mother who calls every other day to remind you that you're not finding a job!
ARGH!
I love it how my mom presents of all sorts of "new" ideas, as if she's the only person to think of them.
Example 1: "Have you tried going to a temp agency or a placement agency?"
Example 2: "What about going back to your previous employers, have you tried asking if they're hiring?"
Example 3: "What about that job you had before law school, have you tried asking them?"
Example 4: "Oh, why don't you ask your old boss? And if they're not hiring, ask them if you can work for free."
As you can see, examples 2-4 are the same crap, but my mom has a way of pretending as if they're each unique ideas. I'm not sure how many times or how many different ways I can explain that I'm doing everything in my power to find a job! It's like the lady has refuses to listen to me!
Oh, but example 5 is the absolute bestest:
Example 5: "Well if you're not working right now, and you have all this time right now, why don't you have a baby?"
You see that? Those are my eyes rolling.

Awww... she cares about you... he, he... I know I shouldn't be laughing, but it IS kind of funny...
Why don't you have a baby? Wow, I guess since Obama got elected, your mom figures the welfare benefits will go up. Maybe that is a new/retro career path!?!??!
