46. Well, now
I have been unemployed or 'underemployed' for the past three years as I struggle to transition out of mortgage lending and into teaching. (I refused to sell subprimes--can you guess how my manager reacted?)

As a 54YO woman, I can assure you being 'underemployed' is like having someone wave an ice cream cone in front of your ravenous face--several inches away from your mouth--as you struggle to escape the heavy ropes they've used to keep you immobile. You can smell the ice cream, you can see it dripping into oblivion as it melts in the summer heat, but you will never get a taste of that cone.

Teh Basterds!!!
