So bored I could almost get a job.
    #21185621 - 01/27/15 09:46 AM (9 years, 3 months ago)

Almost. :wink:

My job went the way of the dodo a few weeks ago. I got a generous buyout package, and my unemployment benefits should be starting in a few more weeks. I'll be getting enough to get by, so I shouldn't have to dip too deeply into my savings unless this goes on past around August, or so.

At first, the vacation was nice. The first two weeks were cool, but the novelty has worn off. I've started working out daily, but that kills maybe an hour. I'm also turning my garage into a 1Br apartment, but the friend of mine who does construction has been busy on paying jobs, and I've done all the grunt work I can in his absence, so I'm waiting for him to get a spare day to come back and do some more brain work.

The part of the garage that is still garage is trashed right now, so I can't really get in there to work on any projects. First quarter is always slow for my online business anyway, so at least that's not costing me much, but I was trying to build a vending machine, and now I can't work on that because it's covered up with OSB. I could be working on the software, I guess, but I can't get to the hardware to test it, so what's the point?

I wouldn't mind doing some volunteer work, but I'd really prefer to do something that would look good on my resume. I could use some electromechanological  experience, since that's what I have a degree in, but I can't think of anywhere that I could volunteer that fits that description.

Maybe I could go dig a hole in the back yard or something. I don't really need a hole, but If I have one maybe I'll think of a use for it later.

How long do your unemployment benefits last for? Half a year or so?

I quit my job on November 15th because I had enough money saved up to take a vacation before I do my next shit. It's been more boring than I had anticipated. I've been working out as well, but you can only do so much. It's turned into me dicking around on the internet most of the time.

Yeah, 6 months. They're being delayed because of the buyout package.

I'm spending a lot of time researching bean recipes since I don't know how long this is going to go on for, and I have some ideas for what to do with whatever money I have left over when it's done.

You ever get so bored, you feel like you're tripping?

That's where I am today.
