So What Do The Unemployed Do With All This Free Time?

[Rocksurfer]

Well after what happened yesterday at work I've had enough, standing in my latest store with only a cook and my boss not answering his phone (a 24hr requirement) I realized that it ain't worth my health so I left him a nasty (nothing that he can use against me) message on his phone that he'd better have his behind in the store pronto. When he showed up I left. Now unemployed a little early I'm bored, so what do the unemployed do with all this extra time? I've never experience this phenomenon before so give me some suggestions on something to do that doesn't involve spending any money.

try hanging out in a local park. Be sure to buy a 40.

Too hot sitting in the park and I don't drink beer, cheap wine or malt-liquor

Go down to an appliance store and pick up an old refrigerator box. Go down by the canals and stake out a prime spot under a bridge. Go to the Snotsdale area and hassle shoppers. Enjoy!

I can sleep in the back of my truck, guess I could go sit with the bums in the patio at Jack In The Box.

So how many days/weeks/months does it take to smell like a real bum? I don't want the rest of the bums to think I'm a poser.

I have been unemployed since March now and I find that by staying home I don't spend money on anything.  Send out some resumes.  Sleep.  Throw a BYOB party!

[Rocksurfer]

More like a BYOB&SFM party.

Don't forget to post pics after the party!

lots of ways to wheel and deal and make money.
But If you are going for the bum approach STOP shaving and dont change your peuked on jeans.
No showers, and remember always write I WILL WORK FOR FOOD   or   I WONT LIE, I NEED A DRINK
but always have a lame excuse when someone offers you work,    lol

Lets see ive been unemplyoed from sept 06 till june 07 and then i was unemplyed from june 07 till july 07 and then from sept 07 till now ive still been unemployed. I am going to school and got let go due to my school schedule so that sucked.

Pretty much all I do is go work on my friends rigs and get some money to get by. When Im not doin that I just sit at home and watch TV and go on the net and if Im not doin that I go to my friends house and do that their and take her food.

I went as a bum 2years ago for halloween.  Take a shower, but don't use soap.  do not shave. go outside and smear yourself and your clothes with dirt.  Find some good friends to throw you through some bushes. This is key...I won the best costume b/c everyone said I really smelled homeless.

Dont forget the dog one (dog needs food)
If your homeless you dont need a dog
but dogs can always eat out of dumpsters.

Realism wins out every time!  I could go as a grouch on halloween and not have to change a thing

Come down to Sierra Vista we can be unemployed together!!!   I got laid off last mon.!!  I was let go, but the other 4 guys that have about as much knowlege that I  do combined got to stay!!!!!!!

[Rocksurfer]

That's too bad, they probably kept them because you cost more than them combined. I pretty much had enough of the bs and was thinking about it when we were in FJ, that pretty much sealed the deal it was the first time in a year that I'd really be out. Too much work and no play makes Rocksurfer a grumpy boy. Sadly I'm moving back to CA and will seek some work there, on a bright note though I'll be as close to the Hammer's as I was to FJ.
