I’ve abstained from Facebook for much of this last week because the only things changing on there are statuses keeping me abreast of how many finals or papers everyone has, how “over school” they are or if they are actually done with school (“yay.”)  Don’t get me wrong, I empathize with those still working and think those who have finished have every right to be excited.  I don’t see this trend ending any time soon and I’m sure the flood of blog entries about the transcendence of entering real life will continue long after the last graduation of the academic year takes place.  Considering all the talk I’ve heard about there being no jobs out there, I’d guess we’ll be seeing a lot of blogs detailing the unemployed life too; (while i wouldn’t focus an entire blog on this my writing one of these entries isn’t even a question) sometimes to hilarious effect,

sometimes utterly demoralizing I’m sure, and then there are those who will empower themselves.  Instead of thinking about how we don’t have jobs though, I’d rather think about the awesome places there are to work at.  I came across this video

The Floor Is Lava from Casey Donahue on Vimeo.

from a Vimeo employee while I was still taking my finals and it became something of a “land on the horizon” for me.  I marveled at the notion that I just had to throw some ink down on a few more papers and I would be free to seek my future, possibly as bright and shiny as Casey Donahue’s shoes.  It honestly looks like they have the most fun ever.  From autotuned conversations to Robocop x Jurrasic Park crossovers to impeccable tributes to Star Wars and the aforementioned dinosaur laden park.  If you already have a job, don’t be bitter.  Just enjoy knowing that somewhere out there a kid right out of/still in college is living the dream.  I for one ain’t mad at ya Vimeo staff.

Thanks to @jayzombie for the craigslist link, and (I believe) @tywhite for posting the autotune link that led me to the rest of these glorious videos.
