| Fact or fiction: You can get paid just for sitting in an office.
Fact!
A new website dedicated to odd jobs, Odd Job Nation, recently launched. One of their first odd jobs is that of a "corporate seat-filler." These folks are being used to make corporate environments seem full and bustling with activity so that when clients visit these offices they see no negative effects of the economic turmoil.
Along with this wild new world of odd job opportunities, the economic situation has spawned a whole new breed of blogs and websites offering help, information, support and comic relief for those who lost their jobs recently. A personal favorite: "Pink Slips are the New Black," a blog for unemployed people by unemployed people. Their tagline is: "We're angry. We're frustrated. We're unemployed...Like You."
