well today makes day 15 of being unemployed



didnt get fired or anything or quit cuz i hated the job



just quit cuz it made sense not to drag it on longer than i needed to so i can concentrate on the move



longest period of time ive ever been unemployeed since i was 16 has been 4 weeks and i know ill be unemployed for longer than that now and its driving me nuts



not really stress nor worry, im fine financially for the time being



its the lack of sh*t to do and the lack of having a reason to wake up in the morning thats driving me nuts



i literally have slept total of maybe 20 hours in the last 5 days



ive gained 15lbs already (having a fridge full of food and nothing to do = snacking all day sitting on the couch)



BLAH

I know that feel man. Try doing some exercise, or actually just start doing anything -at all- to get out of the fuzz.





Whatcha putting off?

Oh, right on. Yeah, I usually get into that state of mind when if I take time off work to leave room to study. Then I don't study and just go a bit insane. shitsuxmaan

**PLUGGING ANOTHER WEBSITE**



You could always go check out my website, maybe make a few posts over there. Should be good to kill another 5 minutes



But seriously, the exercise thing, is probably the best suggestion.



Where ya moving to/from anyway?

No, I didn't go nuts at all until I got to the place where I was unsure if I would get more extensions and started to worry about money. I was as busy unemployed as I was when I was working, only I was busy working on the stuff I wanted to do, not the stuff someone was willing to pay me to do. I would love to never work again, I could get so much done.
