in all seriousness, i'm not just trying to be semantic here. being unemployed sucks donkey balls. you get depressed, you have nowhere to go during the day, and no money to go out at night and pretty soon you find yourself not leaving the house for days on end... so find somewhere to go work even if they don't pay you. volunteer like a motherfucker. you'll make some new friends, and pretty soon you'll discover that money is not the only form of payment you can recieve for work.
i've been out of work for a year and a half, and i still haven't found a "job-type job" with regular hours and a paycheck. but for the last six months i've been able to mostly quit borrowing money from the parents by working on an organic farm. i don't get a whole lot in the way of cash, and sometimes none at all. but i get paid all the food i can eat (except protien) - and the best food i've had in my life at that, weed, beer, rides to places, favors, friendship and if it came down to it (which it might soon) a roof over my head. in short, most of what i wanted the cash for in the first place and couple of things you can't buy with money... most importantly, the energy to get out of bed everyday and stay positive even though i'm dead broke.
