Happy Monday, Suckers Who Have to Work Today!
Interested in finding a job that doesn't require you to work on a day where we celebrate George W. Bush? Forget networking. Nutworking is apparently all the rage. My cube buddy Kyra Kyles, author of the "Going Public" blog, recently wrote a Chicago Tribune piece about nutworking, a phrase she coined.
Nutworking is "a form of bizarre business conduct common among unemployed or underemployed professionals who aggressively seek job help from former colleagues and friends, using every piece of technology at their fingertips. Even more unsettling, though, is nutworking unleashed on complete strangers, as facilitated by the technological wonders of Google, Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn."
For the record, I use all four of those tools but not really to network and (hopefully) not to nutwork.

I miss your puniness. It was like English class, but more useful. Where for art thou?
