OK.
Its been three weeks since I was made unemployed and to be honest it doesn't feel like I have been off for more than a weekend.
I dont know how I should feel.
I got my first job at the age of 14, I remember getting off the bus in Urmston in the rain and walking round every shop, asking if they had any part time jobs going.
Eventually found one in Gateways - The food market (Changed to Somerfields) and I have worked ever since.
Well almost, I was unemployed from Woolworths after I walked out on them.
Long story about long hours and short pay.
Oh, and when I tore my pectoral muscle from my ribcage in PC world.
I was off for four months then.
so, basically since I was 14 I have been working. (minus around 10 months).
Thats 6080 days actually in work, I have taken out the weekends etc.
and now I have been off work for just over 21 days.
Guess its going to take a while to settle in.
A few things can happen when your unemployed.
the First one is that you get a job and go back to doing what you do.
the second if your married is something called DIY.
Your wife/Husband depending on your sex and inclination here has it all planned.
A dozen shelves need putting up.
X little jobs need doing, Y medium size jobs need to be done.
The third is that you let the weight of all the pressure that has built up over the last 6080 days crash onto you and burn you up.
I have ended up with option 2, I think Option 3 might come later but for now I am quite relaxed and happy.
I feel I should feel guilty for not jumping back into work.
I am looking but, well there isn't anything really out there at the moment.
I apply for a few but secretly hope they don't come off.
I wont turn one down if its offered but would rather figure out who I am for a little while.
If I find me I will let you know.
