Why you should be glad you don't have a job

.

In the interest of finding the silver lining, here are some reasons the jobless of you out there could thank your lucky stars.

1. One in three women has been harassed at work according to this article by the Daily Mail. (via savetheassistants.com)

What's more,

• 14 percent are “dreading” going to their holiday party because they’ll have to dodge a drunk and/or handsy coworker
• 20 percent say they have had to fend off a coworker’s sexual advances
• 5 percent report that they have quit a job because the office harassment was so bad
• 32 percent say that they have experienced harassment in the form of lewd “humor” or inappropriate joke

2. All bosses want a softie. The unemployed, on the other hand, are free to act like the bitches they really are.

3. Have you seen The Office?

4. Economist Frank Ackerman writes that "on the whole, unemployment is better for our health." He cites less work-related driving/traffic accidents and the fact that unemployed people exercise more, drink less alcohol, prepare and eat healthier food, see their friends more, and enjoy lower levels of stress. You will live longer than your employed friends, even if it is in a van down by the river!

5. Uniforms - wait, make that all work-appropriate clothing. Not as fun as sweats and slutty dresses.

6. The most common time for heart attacks to occur is Monday morning. WONDER WHY.
