You have time to get some work done!!!!
You have time to work on YOUR OWN projects.
Instead of wasting your time working on
someone else's project.

The first few weeks, when you don't have to set the alarm to get up every morning, and you can go anywhere and do anything you please, and don't have to deal with the drama at your last job any more, is fun for awhile. But once your savings are gone, the bills are piling up, and the rent is due, it doesn't seem as if you'll ever recover.

All of the same things that are fun when employed.
by funemployed on March 9th, 2009
There can be a lot of fun things about being unemployed:
You can do all of the things you never had time for.
Explore your hobbies and passion.
Get involved in volunteering.
Think about what you want to do with your life and perhaps go back to school or get training to actually do it.
Spend more time with your family.
Find cool fun things to do in your area that are free or cheap.
In fact, I have take some of my newly found free time as unemployed to create a blog for stuff to do while you are unemployed. www.fun-employment.com

Being your own boss.
The possibility that you will come up with a great way to earn money without having to work for someone else.
The challenge of finding a way to support yourself with a job.
by Sodapop on January 5th, 2009
More party time? But its also ironic because you wont have money to party for too long so im gonna take a guess and say: not alot, it would suck.
by pokeyokey1 on January 5th, 2009
here in germany? They pay for your housing, and they pay you 350 euro (500 dollars apr.) forever if you dont find a job.
by dreadyroots on January 5th, 2009
I gotta say it was fun while it was warmer out. Now that its cold not so fun. Been unemployed this tyme goin on like 4 momths. This is only the 2nd tyme been out of work. The first tyme was for like 3 weeks. Just long enough 1 check then a shitty retal job. Which was my last job, the one I was let go from after 9 months. I sill get paid tho. So thats cool. Use those unemployment benifits man use'em. If u dont sumbody else will. I gots a job interview tommorrow.
by Runs_With_Scissors on January 5th, 2009
I would say - nothing. Although, I was unemployed by choice for about 10 years (stay at home mom) and that was great. As for being unemployed NOT by choice...that would suck, especially now when you don't know if or when the next job might be availible.
by Beautiful Stranger Is Back on January 5th, 2009
Hmm. I would most likely say nothing.
Although i've never experienced unemployment.
But I like residency & I think it's fun & I enjoy working so yeah nothing would be my answer.
by Sixty B - Commander Topcoat on November 12th, 2010
That's a really complicated question. I have been employed and miserable, unemployed but comfortable, and most recently, unemployed and miserable. I think that for many - myself included - a solid income and career coincide with self-identity. It may be fun, for a while, to sleep all day and watch TBS and do nothing. It may seem like a dream come true. The daytime television... the sleeping in. But you know what, it feels like the salmon swimming upstream. It should feel good, but it feels like a challenge. And, eventually, you do crave the normalcy and pride that comes with landing a good gig. Somehow, in some way, swimming with the current can bring pride and stability when it is the right thing. The joy of daytime freedom wears off fast. It becomes a lonely time.

getting to do all the things you wanted to do. you just don't get money for it.
by Ganja_Goddess on March 3rd, 2009
Only the first couple of days when you are still revelling in the fact that you aren't at work. After that it gets boring and then stressful.

there is nothing fun about being unemployed
by philosopher-saint on January 5th, 2009
When you've enuf 'cake', nearly everything. Of course, except feeling useful, able to give more than you take, likely harming future employment opportunities, drinkin' too much, doin' too much dope, havin' your little sister call you a 'loser', having no response when everyone asks, "What do you do?", etc., etc. Other than those, it's cool!
;-)
by Silent Night on January 5th, 2009
nothing...I'd prefer working!
by Cassandra the Crusader on January 5th, 2009
I have no idea. I've worked ever since age 14-years-old and I lied about my age to get the job! My physician had to perform a physical examination and I just knew he would stop me due to my age but he didn't mention it.
To answer your question, I wouldn't know. I have never been without a job. :)
by Occams Electric Razor on January 5th, 2009
Not a thing in my experience, the 2 times I was ever unemployed I was working more hours, longer days than a job just trying to find a job and I didn't even get paid for it! Get up early, hit the pavement looking for jobs, doing interview after interview, drop more resumes and applications and the come home and research more jobs, hope someone calls back soon, hope it isn't that one crappy job you applied for as a "just in case nothing else comes through" job and then fret over money......not fun at all...the only thing worse than losing a crappy job is trying to find another one

You can do whatever you want. But the thing is, you won't get paid for it.

Getting up when you are ready to, rather than when you are still tired.
Having time to do what you actually want to do.

Not one thing, think about starting your own business from home.
by Doggie S on January 6th, 2009
You can watch TV the whole day, or watch a bunch of movies from sunrise to sunset.
You will also realize how much your family loves you. I survived five months of joblessness after college graduation because of the financial and moral support given to me by my mother and my sister.
Do you go to school to be a locksmith?
