<prompt> Human: Mine was to always network all the damn time. I have always heard the phrase Its not what you know, but who you know, but until I became unemployed is when I really saw the value in it. Now I try to go to social events as much as I can and talk to strangers. Its crazy how much less stressful unemployment can be if youre well connected. Assistant: How boring sitting at home all day is...I was unemployed for a grand total of two weeks, and I was bored out of my skull...Human: When were employed we complain about getting out of bed and the long commute and the less-than-great co-workers and when were unemployed we complain about how boring things are during the day and how you cant wait to get back to work. We are never satisfied.  <response>: I believe morrissey said it best, i was looking for a job, and then I found a job, and heaven knows im miserable now.. Yes the days are boring, but like samurai451 below me, have a plan. when i became unemployed, the first thing i did was make a list of EVERYTHING i needed to do but hadnt gotten around to it. first thing was to go to see every professional i could before insurance ran out. dentist, doctor, fill prescriptions, etc. then the list was things like, change tires, repair faucet, write grandparents, spend more time with family, fix garage door, work out, etc. have a plan.
