So who says being unemployed is fun? Yes some people actually think its fun to be unemployed. It may be nice for a few days, and then you realize your income level has dropped significantly and your sense of getting up in the morning has suddenly shifted.
Now don’t get me wrong, there are many things you can do to keep your sanity and make you feel “happy” during these dire times.
Here are some examples of what you can do with your new found time:
· Volunteering at a local school, nonprofit or charity organization
· Pursue additional schooling or college degree
· Learn a new hobby like knitting or sewing
· Get to know your city by scheduling a day to visit cultural centers or museums
· Write a book, screenplay or blog about your current situation or an industry you are interested in
· Start your own company
As this humorous video reveals, the lack of activities can really make someone feel irrelevant and without any sense of purpose.

So after realizing what things I can do during this time, I have discovered that volunteering at my son’s school has been a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Yes, I even dare to say… I am having a little fun.
