&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Enough of all this uppity optimism, being unemployed sucks. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;That&#39;s right, I said it. Eat that, &quot;10 Ways to Keep Smiling During a Layoff&quot; lists. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Look, we know that going through a layoff is rough. I&#39;ve certainly been there, and I can recall the initial&#160;rush of, &quot;I&#39;m going to make the most of this and view it as an opportunity since I always wanted to pursue my true passion anyway&quot; optimism quickly giving way to anger, bitterness and apathy. It&#39;s not&#160;easy to stay motivated, and some days, you just can&#39;t be bothered.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;In that spirit, here&#39;s your opportunity to say, &quot;Screw &#39;em. Not today!&quot; We&#39;ve scoured the legions of the unemployed who have taken to the blogosphere to share their experiences with others, and we&#39;ve found some of the more hilarious &quot;I&#39;ve been laid off and you&#39;re gonna watch me blog about it&quot; sites on these here internets. We&#39;re not suggesting that you sleep until noon and spend your precious few waking hours on the web&#160;scouring &quot;Stuff Unemployed People Like&quot; every day. But if today is the day to wallow in your bitterness and just laugh it up as the world comes crumbling down one layoff at a time, then these sites will certainly help.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Unemployment Haiku Weekly&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; -- Matthew Bottkol and Todd Eisner bring you a new unemployment musing in the form of an ancient Japanese poem accompanied by a hilarious illustration once a week, 5, 7 and then 5 syllables at a time. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;li dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Stuff Unemployed People Like&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; -- Is exactly what it sounds like: A riff on the popular blog &quot;Stuff White People Like,&quot; with a new entry published just about every day. So far, it&#39;s 34 entries long and includes such items as &quot;#32 Failing at Plans to Succeed at Leaving the House,&quot; &quot;#6 Having Octuplets,&quot; and the always popular &quot;#28 Drinking Alone.&quot;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;li dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Unemploymentality&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; -- This blog embraces the resourcefulness of the unemployed and attempts to channel the &quot;unemploymentality&quot; as something empowering. The end result is often a lampooning post about a layoff-related news peg, or just a funny day in the life story. Our favorite post so far: &quot;Sesame Street lays off 20% of workforce. Oscar the Grouch goes on spree.&quot;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;li dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Jobless and Less&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; -- We&#39;ve mentioned Norm&#39;s blog more than once in this space, but it bears repeating. Not as overtly geared towards humor as some of the others on this list, Jobless and Less is a blog you can read and empathize with, without resenting the author by the end. Norm&#39;s an engaging writer who has been through it all when it comes to layoffs. You&#39;ll always find something fresh and chuckle-worthy here. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Did we miss anything?
