I'll probably get thumbed down to hell, but maybe he should spend a little less time with the tv and little more time with his resume. Being unemployed sucks, but sometimes it's our own fault. We tend to refuse jobs until we find the "perfect" one. Sometimes, we need to do what we can, until we can do what we want.

I assume you have a job OP but what if you don't? If you don't then look for one to help out. You'll find out it isn't easy.

hey atlease he's excited :)

Stop leeching and get out and work yourself.

Sorry to hear that. At least he's trying to be happy.

That would be big news to me considering my life is pretty boring.

hey, that's a big deal for a fan!

Maybe your dad is depressed from being unemployed and even though it's small it was big enough that your dad wanted to tell you, be happy for him

That's still cool

It's fine OP at least support your dad with the stuff he likes, that'll make him happy
