A dear friend of mine is a couple weeks away from unemployment. She has been interviewing for positions in the non-profit and higher ed realms to no avail. It is a scary and frustrating experience for her. The fortunes in fortune cookies have not been helpful. Her latest fortune read, "Hope is good, but prepare for the worst." No a ringing endorsement for future success. That said, we started thinking of worse fortunes to receive (since she should be prepared.) Here are a few.
You love but are unlovable.
Enjoy today, you might not have tomorrow.
Eat that slice of pizza, a few more pounds won't make a difference at this point.
You got the raise, but your wife earned it.
Why bother
Be grateful for the problems you don't have - yet.
