Although unemployment statistics are grim, some job seekers have decided to have fun with it. This week, about 50 people participated in the Unemployed Olympics:
"Four events were planned: “Pin the Blame on the Boss,” a “You’re
Fired” race, piñata-bashing and the highly anticipated fax machine
toss, which had to be nixed at the last minute, to much heartbreak. The
parks department balked at the idea of having office equipment hoisted
aloft (“dangerous,” said a spokeswoman) and then smashing to the ground
(“which is essentially littering,” per the spokeswoman), so Mr. Goddard
substituted “Office Phone Skee-Ball,” which also involved hurling
office equipment about, albeit equipment of a smaller sort.
Registration was taken at the “Unemployment Office,” which Mr. Goddard and a friend had fashioned late Monday out of cardboard boxes and green paint. An unemployment card or a letter of dismissal from a former employer was required to enter."

Maybe this is something your One Stop Career Center should sponsor. . .
