Robot Pride posted:I don't know how anyone gets bored on unemployment other than you have no real passions in life. Even with no job I have so much to do that I enjoy from reading, drawing, working out, computering, musicing, etc that I can't fit it all in each day and could easily fill every second of the rest of my life completely content in my own personal pursuits. For real. I do contract work and often have weeks/months of free time and I never get sick of it. It's only annoying because all my friends have normal jobs now or kids so I have to make new retired dude friends if I want someone to go fishing with. Last summer I had like three months off work and it was like the most incredible time of my life. I smoked dope, went fishing, played videogames, cooked elaborate meals, napped on the rug next to the dog, sat on the beach smoking cigars, and was just really chill for weeks. It was amazing because I wasn't rushed or felt pressured to have "maximum fun" like a normal vacation, so if I woke up at 11am and decided to spend he day in bed reading and jerking off there was no guilt as I still had like 45 more days of freedom left.

I went on unemployment once in MD. Called the number and the lady said she needed info for every employer I had for the past 5 years. I told her I was a freelance stagehand for most of that time and had literally hundreds of employers scattered over a half dozen states. After an hour on the phone with me she asked me to hold and when she came back said that they were just going to approve my claim without all the paperwork. I think I got something like $400ish a week? Sadly I actually sent out resumes and got a job like a week later, so I just bought an old revolver with the money.

Rutibex posted:I think it's a restaurant that's like a big vending machine More or less, they were a thing when my little revolver was state of the art tech. They were pretty cool in a retro-future way. Wiki says the last one in NYC closed in 1991, which seems crazy.
