Truth Be Told: Invasion
I honestly wouldn't mind an alien invasion right about now. Sure, half of my friends will look at me funny, while the others will nod, agree, and already have weapons on stash. To that other half, I say holla' at your boy when it's showtime.

The work force is (not) strong in this one.
I want to break format for this post, because I need help understanding something, here. In this age of jobs, money, stability, and comfort being on the downfall with little to no end in sight for so many that want and need to work, why are there are those that will complain about not wanting to go in to their jobs?
We're talking about people that may or may not be able to write their ticket everywhere they seek, due to whatever skills they have, if any. I'll take into consideration that not everyone that says it means it,but for the lot that do, try being on the other side of the fence, where people qualified to run their own office or business can't even get part time work as a local store clerk, whose respective business is more than often the first ones to go before the franchises.
There are those that need that money to pursue better options to expand on their education in a field that's in demand. Depending on where you live, you might have programs that teach you for (next-to) free, but in the end, there's always going to be a need to pay for what's necessary to get so much as towards that advancement. Needless to say, you're going to need work to get money, but if the work's not there for people that want it, why are the people that have it legitimately complaining about going to it? Are they no better than the ones that sit back freeloading, tapping out on job searching while taking other's drinks and food without permission, or even thanks?
Perhaps some of these quitters were heavily reliant on others' help, and when they could no longer spend their time on them for whatever the reason, they fell into submission, even depression, hoping that something will come along without effort, while scraping at every last dollar they can from selling or bartering with others. Pray you're not the type to actually be given money, but spend it on anything meaningful, like bills, debts, and so on.
But for those that had to sacrifice item after item to make sure there was gas in the car to get to that "in person only" app, money on their cell phone to see who's hiring so they won't waste what little gas they have, and well-kept clothes for that potential interview you get called for on said cell, while signing no less than three applications a day, THEY are the people you'll never see complain about having a job when they get it, even if it's outside of their (once) shallow comfort zones. And here these other people are, taking theirs for granted, as if life will be any easier with their hands out wondering what went wrong or what should they do now.
So for every person that says that and are honestly joking, make sure it's not one that wears thin, because the more you use it, the more you risk getting what you ask for, while looking foolish in the eyes of those that are still struggling to be important to an employer again, if not for the first time. Be an example, not a poor end of a statistic.
