Former radio DJ Jeff Jensen, now gainfully employed at public relations giant Runyon Saltzman & Einhorn, is thankfully continuing his insightful and often funny blog on Sacramento magazine's Web site.
His latest posting compares his stint in unemployment, after being laid off from The Flash (92.1 FM), to ex-Kings coach Eric Musselman, who will receive a $5 million buyout on the remaining years of his contract.
Let's take a second to compare his unemployment situation to mine, since mine was probably typical for most people who've been thrown out of work. My employer was gracious enough to qualify me for unemployment insurance, which meant I got a check for $450 every two weeks. Not a ton, but enough to keep the lights on and serve the family a big steaming bowl of Mac & Cheese on special occasions. During that same two week span, Musselman's "unemployment plan" will pay him roughly $96,150. And he gets one of those checks every two weeks for the next two years, as opposed to us regular working stiffs who get cut off after six months. Now THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is an unemployment plan.
