Top 10 Things to Do When Unemployed

[Egga]

Hi All, I recently quit my job and, having worked far too hard over the past 10 years, am enjoying a bit of a break before I dive back into serious employment. This freedom will be over all too soon, so I'm keen to hear your ideas about what I should do while unemployed.

I've already grown a mustache

Any thoughts?

Tidy the garden ? Build a shed ? And seriously, good luck with what ever employment you take on next

I'm unemployed at the moment too.

I like to get on the piss on any night I like. Though after that 'thing' I scored with on NYE, I haven't fancied a drink since.

Thanks Chug. I'm about to add to my achievments : Go to the gym in the middle of the day.

Yes, Abbie is great and thank you for asking. She has just turned 8 weeks old and was excited to get her first North jumper for Christmas. I feel very fortunate to have this time to spend with her. I'm also glad I don't have to show up for work after a night without sleep!

Nice I usually remember things and remember reading your post re Abbie , but could have been mistaken .
Re your opening post . Do you want to do any study?

Actually, I want to use the time mainly to recharge. Work has been stressful and exhausting (intellectually), so I'm not looking to do anything intellectually strenuous. Hopefully I'll eat better, sleep longer, get more exercise, etc. Building a shed would be a good idea if I had a back yard!

Grow a beard, hang with IschenkoUBeauty and Marklovesbeer in Fitzroy, I'm sure that'll take up a few weeks.

On a serious note, try something you always wanted to do but needed the time, indulge yourself in new activities, hobbies or get cooking if that's your thing.

Wrong thread, not sure if there's a right thread .... saved a boy from drowning today. Kings Beach in Caloundra, not to be confused with the Kings Beach over in Syria. Kid was out a little deep, got barrelled, went under, bobbed up, got barrelled, went under, bobbed up, I called out if he was ok, he said no, sunk, I grabbed his arm and am now happily telling the tale. Lucky kid, thankful mum and massive street cred from my best little mate

I helped out a rather large bloke who was in trouble at Safety Beach around 10 years. Had drifted out a bit and panicked and was screaming for help. Swam out and told him to grab me. Paddled back. He thanked me etc and then sat down and lit a ciggie.

Anyway back on topic, after we finished uni back in the early 90’s a bunch of us (mostly Western suburbs bums) would take summers off go on the dole for 3-4 months and would head down the coast to surf, drink, party, play golf, tennis etc. Those were the days when getting the dole was so so easy. Great times.
