I've been unemployed since thursday and it's getting increasingly difficult to entertain myself. Before anyone says it I've distributed my cv and signed up to a temp agency.

So far I've text a radio station just to see if they'd read it out
Scribbled joke ideas diwn
Abused the idiots
Started 3 'projects' on myspace
Done a decent breakfast

So, what next?

When i was employed. i brought myself an air rifle and selection of pelets!

It can be so much fun if you find some fun stuff to shoot.

*you'll see what i mean!*

I find masturbation and mass posting on here fills some time.

Pfft no, it's cold out and commuting has killed my passion for riding, well, that and having 8 points means I can't ride how I want to anymore. Sad

I might go for a walk in the woods hunting deer with a knife and some stones.

Get out and start knocking on doors and asking if there are any jobs available.

All well and good but if I had a letter, phone call and someone knocking at the door asking for a job the one who made an effort to come knocking would stand a better chance of the job. Wink

wave, what do you reckon the chance of getting a summer job at the Royal Mail is? How do they look at people who have no desire to stay for longer than 3 months? And what's the pay like?

Currently looking at options. Night Shift at Tescos is favourite at the moment due to very nice pay for shelf stacking and being close to home.
The fact that my life would be zombiefied is a bit of a downer though Very Happy

I'm so fucking bored, I've sent my cv to several places now.

So far I've booked some more gigs, sent messages to 7 random girls on myspace in the hope of finding an easy lay, done the washing up and generally fucked about on here whilst listening to kerrang radio.

If I don't hear anything back from the agencies by tomorrow I'm getting an application form for McDonalds.

Oh no, you're better than that surely? Why don't you do some temp work till you find your vocation. Better still if you feel like giving do some voluntary work while you look for a new job it always looks good on your C.V. Personally I always treat finding a job as a job in itself. I get up at a regular time, set a schedule for the day and fill my time with job hunting, e-mails, phone calls, agency visits, charity work and helping the missus out around the house, the time just flies by. Very Happy

For your fucking information not all people on the dole are lazy as u so fucking nicely put it, i sign on due to the fact of being unemployed its not that im too lazy for work as i try my fuckin hardest to get a job in even considering getting 2 part time jobs just to be able to pay the bills so dont put everyone in one fucking category when you know jack shit about our individual situations i dont do it for fun believe me and yes half the people who sign on are scruffy cunts but not all of us and if you were in a desperate enough situation you would sign on believe me
