I'm unemployed

[Gemby!]

I'm already on the non-pants (which im assuming is trousers, not underwear)road. shorts and a t-shirt at the mo

You are learning quickly, Gemby!

[Seedler]

I think I can afford a personal dishwasher / cleaner or two with my new job

[megabyteme]

Things I have to do after the first of the year...

1. Find new calendar (preferably one with Pembroke Welsh Corgis).
2. Hang it.

Oh, yeah, and finish my graduate degree and make sure my wife's needs are taken care of for her pregnancy. Twins, FTW!!!

Other than that, it's pretty lax.

What do other unemployed people do? I hurt my back about 18 months ago, so I have been going to school. However, we do have a limited budget for things. File sharing helps a lot with our entertainment budget. I love to cook and a lot of what I do uses inexpensive meats and other ingredients cooked for several hours. So we eat well, and have access to all media for entertainment. We can communicate with people from around the world.

I have found stuff to keep myself occupied, what do you do? Would it drive you crazy if you knew you would not have work in the next 3 years? 5?

I am going to be a stay at home dad. That sounds pretty cool to me. I am also going to apply to a doctoral prog or two. Why not, I will have a few years while the kids get older.

So entertain me, or at least suggest something i can do.

get a job is not a witty reply.

Write your memoirs.

Excuse while I wipe the laughter tears from my eyes. It seems you think you will have time to do your own thing when your twins are growing up. You may get away with that for about six months, after that, forget it.

Anyways, you bunch of lazy unemployed persons! I am currently at work; we're getting training for some new GUI thing that is going to replace all other platforms.

It's boring as fuck, as I won't be using it, or hardly ever anyway.
Fuck sake. In the mean time I still have customers waiting, as no one else in this town seems to speak Dutch. Pah.

Pfffft, what do you expect, most of them can barely speak English ffs

[Skweeky]

True

Luckily my l33t computer skills are so l33t that I finished my lab report way before anyone else, so I now have 40 minutes to do whatever I want.

Well, I'm still a student so I haven't had a job in the true sense of the word yet. I was brought up in a certain way, so that I think if I were to be unemployed for a long time, I'd hurt myself, prolly.

To each their own, though.

Don't be defeatist and dnon't hurt yourself thats a waste of your talents,Everybody is talented in some way or another, While you have time on your hands work at bettering your talents to your advantage. Lifes to short to just waste it. Think of something you enjoy doing and see if you can get a Job doing it, Luck plays a big part in life so you need to make your own luck because no one will make it for you, good luck.
