July 2nd is National Unemployment Day, a day set aside to celebrate the joys of not having to go to a job. The-day-to-day grind of job hunting is a miserable, humbling experience, and National Unemployment Day is the one day to blow off your job search and take a holiday in the middle of the week. It is a day to mock cubicle trolls who daydream at the nearest window. To giggle at the suckers slaving away in Wal Mart. To finally stop envying the postperson who gets to work in shorts. It is encouraged to “go large” on this day, (lap dances, shoe shopping, surfing) but just chasing down your local ice cream truck constitutes participation in the holiday. It is a day to get creative and exploit whatever pennies you may have in your bank and to care for the only person who really matters, YOU.
Drinking is not optional. Read all about National Unemplyment Day, including the legacy behind the day (featuring yours truly) at crackpotpress.com.

About the Editor
I spent (too) many years working as an assistant and am now familiar with every single job title in Hollywood. Despite what you’ve heard, I was a good assistant, well known for yelling at bosses, stealing food out of conference rooms, having long-winded conversations while on mute, and helping other assistants cover their asses. One screw up no one discovered was the time I set up a huge client meeting only to realize that I forgot to tell the client. I have a master’s degree in Media Studies from Syracuse University which is totally worthless, but useful in holding over people’s heads. In real life I'm a freelance writer covering television and new media, and a content writer/content manager at a company that creates and manages celebrity websites.
Despite my sarcasm and overall bad attitude, I'm a very nice person. Email me at
