We keep hearing that the recession is over. But like private jets, vaginal rejuvenations and mixed nuts, advertising is one of the first casualties of an economic downturn. So, instead of complaining about the dirth of work out there, we’ve come up with our own positive spin on the slump.

From the Glass Half-Full Department:

1. There’s no work to clutter up your desk anymore.
2. Reduce, re-use, recycle. This now applies to gum.
3. Salon visits? Long and grey is in.
4. The word “staycation”. Nuff said.
5. Become a mac-and-cheese-atarian.
6. Nanny? Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
7. Manis and pedis have become bourgeois. Plus you know how to say “bad tipper” in south asian dialects.
8. The five-second rule for dropped food has been increased to 30 seconds. Even longer if you wipe it off on your shirt.
9. DIY not only applies to re-tiling bathroom floors, but also bikini waxing and outpatient surgeries.
10. Don’t think of it as child labor, think of it as mentoring.
