You're right. There's a threshold that you hit where it actually starts feeling somewhat pleasant! My experience has been that the initial pain subsides after you've been doing your stretch routine for a week or two. It's really not so bad.

And unemployment is a b*tch, for sure. I've been out of work for 6 months. There aren't a whole lot of marketing positions at my level, and it's kinda funny how all of a sudden, employers are looking for people who have a Harvard MBA and 5+ years of work experience and are willing to do an entry-level job for $11/hour. Job searches on CareerBuilder.com are actually quite laughable these days....
As a hijack, where I work we are doing okay. But our managing partner has friends whose firms are either freezing raises or even taking pay cuts. So our "fearless leader" is thinking of doing the same, even though we aren't really hurting. If you aren't looking for work, you are working at a place where they are taking advantage of the hardship by putting the squeeze on those of us already working." Really good for morale either way. Oh, and he goes on six vacations a year. . .I guess I should shut up now.
