I don't work anymore, and lately I am so BORED. what do you do with your time?
Mary, I was unemployed for almost a year before I started this job last fall. I can readily identify with your boredom! I found that taking a walk after lunchtime, really seemed to help. Just taking in that little bit of sunshine seemed to helpe alot. Also, finding things that had a purpose instead of bumming around all day, helped as well. :)
So I didn't vote, since I couldn't choose both:D
Boy can I related to both of you! I've been unemployed since the beginning of February and I'm going out of my mind with boredom. Everyday I go online looking for a job. There isn't too much out there. I attribute it to the war, and the economy.
I've been working since high school graduation, 1970. My tenure in my current job is 17 years and being that I'm a SINK (single-income, no kids) with a mortgage to pay I have no choice but to work until retirement (15 years away).
BUT.......when I retire, I'm getting a dog.:D :D :D
OOOO, I just love my avatar that Karen did...he he he. Don't worry the novelty will wear off eventually.

I work in a resturant, so I'm at home & at work during the day!
So I didn't vote, since I couldn't choose both
I'm sorry I will re-do the wording on the poll, but the idea is do you work or not, and since you do..:)
Oh, ok, then I will vote yes!:D
I can't figure out HOW to edit the poll??? can someone help me?
I don't have a job so I am at home in the daytime :)
I work from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. I take the bus, leave at 6:15 and get home at 5:00.
I work. I teach in a university. So, fortunately, I get to follow an academic calendar instead of a "real" calendar. Ie. summers off, spring break....
In fact I have NEVER followed a real calendar.
I was in school first grade to MA. Then I taught high school, then in school for my Ph.D., now teaching university. My goal is to never follow a real calendar.
boy, that was long winded!
I'm at home during the day I'm a stay-at-home-mommy:D
I'm with Anna--depending on the day, I may work day or night--usually nights though. Mondays I always work during the day, and it is so boring.
I was unemployed for around a year, and I was so bored--this was before we had the dogs--it was depressing!! But I was planning my wedding so I had lots to do. In the summer, I just tried to get out as much as possible.
those that are home, what do you do with your time.?
Mary -
What are some things you enjoy doing?
When I was unemployed the only way I stayed sane was by having little goals and achieving them. I did some things at the gym (got super svelte by the time I had a job!!) and some artistic side projects I'd always wanted to finish.
What's a hobby of yours or a secret passion? I'd try to focus on that and set up little goals for yourself. It sounds cheesy, but it really gives you something to look forward to!:)
