I used my time during unemployment to retool my skills. Read lots of books and learned some more programs that I had limited knowledge in. I turned a negative in a positive.

A lot of artists today are just victims, not having control, and they're not free. And that's pathetic. If you start being dependent on money, then money has to reach a point to fit your expenses. - Thomas Bangalter

Go try hook with some married women you faggit. Trying to get with someone you can't have is the staple of closet fagedness.
Do you ever read what you're writing before you post it?

Same here. I read soooo fucking much. I just wished i retained more of the info. Usually it sits after the 2nd or 3rd reading though.
I've been out of the work market for about 8 months now, due to bad health. I have about 3-5 hours on a good day, that I can be active. Other than that I'm confined to my bed lol. Can't even sit without my back turning the Lock-ness monster. But it's getting better at least.
I mean the gvt is paying me to work out. I have a gvt appointed guy who makes sure I do all my reps haha. Kinda.
I don't mind not having a job aaat all.. I wish I had more money, and that I could go out a little oftener, but meeeh.. As long as nothing sucky happens emotionally I'm pretty fucking content. If that happens, suddenly the chronic pain isn't so easy to block out haha.
I just got engaged to a beautiful girl last night. You're still a cripple. lol

pros:
free time to read, learn and improve yourself so you can be that much better prepared for when a job you really like comes along. you can also use the time to prepare to switch careers or something. also, if the downtime isn't too long between jobs (say a few months tops), it'll just refresh you, kinda like a vacation.
cons:
little or no money
no benefits <-- this can be huge in a country like the US where getting ill has the potential to bankrupt you! risky-ass shit
not getting out of the house, can turn you into a couch potato if you're not careful...next thing you know you've gained a ton of weight lol
