Yesterday  I was at an awards banquet with about 500 other people.  (Unfortunately, no, it wasn’t for me.  It never is, despite my secret, super-hero identity.) At the end of the evening, The M.C. told us to look for the secret door prize stickers on our chairs.  There were only a couple of prizes for all those people, and so I almost didn’t even look, because I’ve never won anything at all in my whole entire life. 

But I did look, and do YOU KNOW WHAT?  There was a little green sticker, right there on my chair!  That meant I was a WINNER!  I‘d WON!   So here I am, now the proud recipient of Door Prize #3.    It’s very fortunate that I had that earlier experience already this week with being super-famous, so I didn’t even let it go to my head.  Have I told you, by the way, that Door Prize #3 was probably the BEST prize of all because it came from the event’s main sponsor?  Not that I was calculating, or comparing, or anything like that.

Someone found this site yesterday by googling: “too lazy to get a job.”  What?  WHAT??!!   Where is that anywhere on this site, may I ask?  This is part of the whole problem, right here.  We worship our working selves so much that now even our search engines are making libelous remarks about the unemployed.

Pursuing employment takes confidence, stuff which is fairly hard to come by when one is jobless to begin with.  Therefore, while we can’t ALL win fabulous door prizes like I have done (not that I want to dwell on that, because it is so irrelevant) we really don’t need to think of ourselves as “lazy” either, especially as that is exactly the most wrong thing for a prospective worker to be.  For people without jobs to believe (or be told) that they are lazy is like divorcees to believe (or be told) that they are unlovable.  It’s the same as believing (or being told) that they are failures, straight up, and that just isn’t going to help anyone.

I am still curious about that googling person, though.  Were they searching for weaponry or armor, I wonder?
