All credit (or blame) for the creation of this blog must go to my brother-in-law Joe, who recently suggested I start a blog about being unemployed. Which I pretty much have been since officially leaving my job at the Stanley Foundation on May 31.
The inspiration for the name of my blog came from the movie "The Big Lebowski" -- bonus points if you had that figured out already.
But if not here's the key scene between Mr. Lebowski (the big Lebowski) and the Dude (Jeffrey Lebowski), which plays out pretty early in the film:
The Big Lebowski: Are you employed, sir?
The Dude: Employed?
The Big Lebowski: You don't go out looking for a job dressed like that? On a weekday?
The Dude: Is this a... what day is this?
The Big Lebowski: Well, I do work sir, so if you don't mind...
The Dude: I do mind, the Dude minds. This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man...
And that last line pretty much sums up why I no longer work at the Stanley Foundation job I held for nearly six years. Though the transcript here doesn't really do the scene justice; it needs to be watched if you want to get the full understanding...
