Welcome to the Day Club!
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.

The Day Club Reading List


The Manhattan Users Guide pointed out a couple blogs we think will be helpful for all you Day Clubbers out there:

Penny Palate: Food and Drink for the Thrifty New Yorker. If there are three words to describe your typical Day Clubber, they are: Hungry, thirsty and thrifty. This is a blog we need. http://pennypalate.wordpress.com/

offManhattan. As much as we love our island paradise, sometimes it’s nice to leave, at least for a day. And what with all our free time, now’s the time. I’m already planning my own ‘Self-Guided Brooklyn Grafitti Tour’. Here’s the link: http://offmanhattan.com/
