Here’s the problem with unemployment.
You tell yourself, that since you have all this time, you’re going to get Stuff Done. You’re going to sort through those boxes of random junk. You’re going to organize your photo albums. You’re going to keep up with your journal. You’re going to have time to write, which is what you really want to do.
And then exactly none of that winds up happening and you still need a job, damnit, because bills won’t pay themselves!
