Today, while reading the newspaper, I noticed that an ad had been placed for my job. I asked my boss for a week off so that I could fly home for my father's funeral. No wonder she was so cool with it. FML

Because there are places that don't require you sign up and create a resume on their web site, anymore?

A little ghoulish, but you still might be too late. Bribe the nurses at the local hospitals to tell you where the terminally ill work. You can start interviewing before the person who is occupying the desk that is rightfully yours actually kicks the bucket. Highly creepy, but highly effective. ;)
