    I wouldn't use the word traumatic, but yeah, it sucks. Dick.

    At the end of the day... I was making $16/hr, living at home with a $900/mo tuition bill, and wasting a mechanical engineering degree. It was time for a fresh start...

    How does a mechanical engineer only make 16 an hour? Or, are you not licensed yet?

    wtf noobs? how does no one pick up on this? Jaybone, tell us how you're going about pretending you still have a job in order to fool your fam since you still live at home. Do you wake up and go to "work" like normal, only to grab a coffee or something and go home? What do you do? I'd much rather here about that then unemployment arguments and job search advice.

    you have to really pay attention Bob, he isn't pretending to be working, he's pretending he still has a job but isn't getting hours. It's a believable lie considering his hours were being reduced steadily.
