The Daily Whatever, May 3: A Very GenX Job Hunt Update
Santa Lawrence is gonna SLEIGH, ho ho ho
As Robin Wilding said, today’s The Daily Whatever felt like catching up with our besties.
We talked about Lawrence’s long and winding road back to employment, as after ten months and 700 interviews, he got not one but TWO job offers this week. What a thrill!
But in true GenX multi-hyphenate fashion, that’s not all the work he’s got. He’s also a writer and podcaster here on Substack, of course. He’s also got a snarky political t-shirt side hustle at Alpaca Lunch, and as of this week, a burgeoning career as Santa Lawrence.
His adventures in ho-ho-ho-ing are gonna be like the Santaland Diaries 2.0. Stay tuned at genXy as the story develops, and read the first installment here:
Huge thanks to Robin and also Peter William Murphy, Karen Marie Shelton, Lahboss, Polly Walker Blakemore, and many more for making today’s The Daily Whatever so much fun!
Come join us tomorrow (Sunday, MAY THE 4th BE WITH YOU) at noon ET/9am PT for more genXy shenanigans.
LOVE YOU MEAN IT!!
