We started this blog to trade stories about losing our jobs and grappling with an increasingly sour labor market. Some of these stories are real doozies. But after a few months of free time and some really cool experiences that our busy schedules simply wouldn’t permit while we were working, our attitude toward this little gap in our resumes started changing. In short, we’ve been pleasantly surprised by our little turn of events.So rather than just commiserating about being unemployed, we're gonna make lemonade from the lemons. Don’t get us wrong. We don’t mean to make light of the gravity of being jobless. But we have enough to remind us of that, thank you very much. Besides, we think it would be fun to share our stories about losing one life-line and finding new and unexpected ones. So after regaling us with your own unemployment story, we would love to hear how you’re surviving, and even thriving in this dreadful economy. That’s what The Day Club is all about.So if, for whatever reason, you find yourself without gainful employment, we heartily welcome you to The Day Club. Have a look around and tell us what’s on your mind. We welcome your stories, thoughts, pictures, articles, connections, helpful hints and any other insights you may have about being in The Day Club.Email us at: thedayclub@gmail.com
- Ever heard of the Youtube Symphony Orchestra? Me neither. Sounds all fancy and high-falutin. They’re putting on a free concert tonight at 10pm at Le Poisson Rouge (www.lepoissonrouge.com). (That website’s music makes me sleepy. Must be siesta time...again.)
- For you fans of The Wire (ahem…Meredith), David Simon, creator of said TV cops-and-bad-guys drama, will be co-presenting ‘Fiction in the Age of Inequality’ tonight at 7pm at the main branch of the New York Public Library. More high falutin…
- Baseball. Time to check out the much ballyhooed new stadiums in the Bronx and Queens. The Mets home season opener is tomorrow at 7:10pm vs. the Padres. Cheap seats are $23. The Yankees home season opener is Thursday at 1:05pm vs. the Indians. Cheap seats are $14.
- Inflation’s a beeyatch.
