I was unemployed for almost a year, a year ago, and I do agree that it pretty much sucks. When you're working, all you can think about is how cool it would be not to have to go to work all the time. The only problem is that when you don't work, you usually don't have any money, so you really can't enjoy the time you have off. The best is when you get laid off, like I did, and you have a severance package. Then, it really is like getting paid to sit around all the time. Until it runs out, that is. When I was on mine, I felt like Kevin Spacey in American Beauty. Just getting high all day, working out and playing video games.
