Desperate and overwhelmed by the mind-numbing sameness of each
day during ten months of unemployment and no interviews, our
heroine Laurie slowly unravels as she lowers her employment
expectations. Coming apart at the seams from the pounding boredom,
she accepts a job she is extremely overqualified for, because she
is willing to "take anything at this point." Watch as Laurie's
flawed and negative thinking takes her "anything" job from bad to
worse to intolerable. Based on a true story, "Unemployed "shows how
Laurie's family, including a crazy and outspoken mother-in-law,
gets what they're thinking about, for better or worse, each and
every time. Like a swarming band of locusts, the family brings on
nervousness, lack of money, a raucous trip in an inner tube, a
whopping case of hemorrhoids, the pursuit of a replacement dog
(just in case), the medicinal consumption of gallons of red wine,
and some pretty lively dinner conversation. Laurie's thoughts take
one shockingly simple turn, and the door to the life of her dreams
swings wide open. If you're unemployed, working in a job you hate,
have the boss from hell, have a crazy mother-in-law, or you simply
like to laugh, you will relate to "Unemployed: How Desperation Led
Me to the Worst Job Ever."
