We don't have to tell you twice: This recession is the pits. If we're not doing twice the work for less pay and eating more 99-cent Beefaroni than humanly imaginable, then we're probably unemployed … and eating more Beefaroni than humanly imaginable.

Even though times couldn't be tougher, no one said we couldn't have any fun. San Francisco-based graphic designer Irina Blok has the right idea. Her set of Funemployed one-inch buttons is currently making the viral rounds online and makes the perfect antidote for the laid off blues. All levels of desperation are accommodated, from a relaxed "No job? No problem," to a plea of "Hire me," to the truly frustrated shout of "Need to get laid, not laid off."

And make sure you consider Blok's custom resume T-shirt once reality begins to set in again.

$2 (U.S.) each, available at www.irinablok.com.
