A Man Has Needs…

Posted under How I See It, Work by Mike

 heart

I know I don’t have a right to complain, after all it’s not like I’m the only person in this situation.  Many of you out there have had to endure much longer than I without it.

I am a man with needs.  I have to have it on a daily basis or I’ll go crazy.  I want it, and I need it soon. 

My wife, bless her heart, is an understanding woman.  She sees that look in my eyes and knows that my yearning is unquenchable.     

I know I don’t have a right to complain, but damn it, it’s been 12 very long weeks!!!

I’ve tried to keep my mind off of it.  God knows the chores I’ve done around this house to stay busy.  I’ve painted almost every room in the house.  I’ve replanted much of the garden.  I am constantly doing the laundry including the wife’s lingerie and panties.  

I’ve tried to blog more.  It seemed more difficult when there was so much being said about all the women who were at the Blog”HER” convention.   

But there is only so much a man can take!  If something doesn’t happen soon, I’m going to be doing more than just howling at the moon.

But, I need a job.  NOW!!!! 

I need to be gainfully employed.  I need a place to go to everyday and drink coffee, and lots of it.  Someplace to talk about last night’s ballgame.  I need a workplace to gossip about other employees and pick on the boss when he’s not looking.  So for the sake of my sanity,

Brother (or sister) could you spare a job?

  1. M@ Said,

    The corner up the street looks good, doesn’t it?

    I feel for you dude. I was out for 3 months in 2001. Have you tried looking at temp work? Pick up a week or a month at a temp agency? That’s how I ended up in a job I had for 4 years, I applied as a developer, got a job as a QA analyst. Sucked for a little while, but I got out of the house and we could pay the bills. Yer lucky your wife works, I was the sole breadwinner for a while.

    I wish my SIL’s husband had that drive. He’s too happy sitting at home playing with his dog. He has been out of work for over a year now.

  3. PoetrysTruth Said,

    See you ALMOST had me. I thought for a second you were talking about getting some yum yum. LOL!

    I’m a lazy bum so I can’t really understand this strange desire for work. LOL!

    I hope you find something soon or get some which ever makes you feel better.

    This is funny to me….my husband always acts like he wants to win the lottery and quit working forever. I keep telling him he’d be bored silly, but secretly, I just don’t want him hanging around the house keeping an eye on me.

  7. Oscar Said,

    I was out of work about 20 years ago for about 6 months. It drove me crazy – I can relate. Hang in there. I had to change careers. Have you coinsidered that?

    I’m always checking for ya.

  9. terri Said,

    I can relate. I’m NOT one of those people who would just love to be at home. I like to leave the house. I like to talk with people who know the business that I know and love. Laundry and domestic duties just don’t offer the same satisfaction as getting paid to do work.

    Hope you find something soon.

  12. secret agent woman Said,

    I’d have a hard time with that, too. Unless I were independantly wealthy – then I could volunteer. But it would be making me crazy if I didn’t have money comng in, so I feel for you.

    There’s a restaurant near here that’s hiring. There was a guy standing outside in a hotdog uniform holding a sign that said so. Maybe they need a ketchup guy.

  15. Momisodes Said,

    Oh man. I can relate on so many levels. Especially the coffee.
