I just came across this blog, "John Left's Field". The writer describes himself as a "34-year old overeducated dweeb searching for gainful full-time employment and maybe [him]self." From what I've read, he worked retail for a long time until he lost his last job.

Most of his writings are about job-search-related stuff, but he writes about other things, too. And he's pretty funny. A real dry wit. Check it out:
