			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;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 &#8220;over school&#8221; they are or if they are actually done with school (&#8220;yay.&#8221;)  Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I empathize with those still working and think those who have finished have every right to be excited.  I don&#8217;t see this trend ending any time soon and I&#8217;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&#8217;ve heard about there being no jobs out there, I&#8217;d guess we&#8217;ll be seeing a lot of blogs detailing the unemployed life too; (while i wouldn&#8217;t focus an entire blog on this my writing one of these entries isn&#8217;t even a question) sometimes to hilarious effect, <a href="http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/chi/942873935.html"><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-8" title="dont-fucking-hire-me" src="http://www.dunlapdabbles.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dont-fucking-hire-me-788x1024.png" alt="dont-fucking-hire-me" width="788" height="1024" /></a></p>
<p>sometimes utterly demoralizing I&#8217;m sure, and then there are those who will <a href="http://notanemployee.net/" target="_blank">empower themselves</a>.  Instead of thinking about how we don&#8217;t have jobs though, I&#8217;d rather think about the awesome places there are to work at.  I came across <a title="The Floor Is Lava" href="http://www.vimeo.com/1340291" target="_blank">this video</a> <object width="400" height="225"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1340291&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1340291&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=&amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"></embed></object>
<p><a href="http://vimeo.com/1340291">The Floor Is Lava</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/caseydonahue">Casey Donahue</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>
<p> from a <a href="http://www.vimeo.com" target="_blank">Vimeo</a> employee while I was still taking my finals and it became something of a &#8220;land on the horizon&#8221; 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&#8217;s shoes.  It honestly looks like they have the most fun ever.  From <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/3718294" target="_blank">autotuned conversations</a> to <a title="Two Caseys" href="http://www.vimeo.com/3430750" target="_blank">Robocop x Jurrasic Park crossovers</a> to impeccable tributes to <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/1494342" target="_blank">Star Wars</a> and the aforementioned <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/1466122" target="_blank">dinosaur laden park</a>.  If you already have a job, don&#8217;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&#8217;t mad at ya Vimeo staff.</p>
<p>Thanks to <a href="http://www.twitter.com/jayzombie" target="_blank">@jayzombie</a> for the craigslist link, and (I believe) <a href="http://www.twitter.com/tywhite" target="_blank">@tywhite</a> for posting the autotune link that led me to the rest of these glorious videos.</p>
