It's great except for that constant little worry in the back of my mind that keeps reminding me I only get paid one more time - and even that's mitigated somewhat by the moderate handout I'm getting in the mean time. But do you know what's really shit? Looking for jobs. Not only is filling out application forms extremely dull, but just the simple act of looking for them is like torture. Everything looks incredibly boring, has a ridiculously generic sounding name. Customer Sales Advisor, Customer Service Advisor, Support Worker, Project Co-Ordinator, Sales Executive (which despite the attractive name is usually on a fairly low pay grade), Administrative Officer. Oh and then there's the stuff I'm not qualified for, which is one of the aforementioned with the word "Senior" in front of it, or has one of the words replaced with "Manager". Every time I read one of those I die a little inside.

You guys get some kind of unemployment payments? You should, it's quite great!

The trick is to enjoy it for what it is. Sure you have less cash flow for a bit, but you also have one hell of a long weekend.

Around about month 9 you'll start going crazy though.

My bad...in my defense, I think I was hammered...(You should have seen the other shit I wrote to a girl that night!)
