Self employed. The anti-Obama employment plan.

I like the way you think. Actually unemployment has been good for me so far. It's given me a chance to focus on some projects and things I wanted to get done. I just don't want it to last to long haha. Somebody always has it worse, I'm very blessed to be in the situation I'm in and have the family support I have. Could be worse.

Hehe. I like THAT idea but not sure if this would fly with the mods.

Only working part-time has provided me with an opportunity to take some classes that I normally would not have time for. Like you, I'm taking advantage of the extra time I have but pray that this season does not last too long.

I'd probably turn into some kind of flamer or something, and get booted for greed.

I work part time from home so I can play on the computer..I should be fully retired but 2 things keep me working 1-to keep my mind a little sharper and 2-to keep my purse a little fuller.

Self employed for 5 years. No benefits - private or gov't. Business is down since July. Too old, too experienced, too cynical, and too hairy (I never used to have hair there) to be considered for a real job when I'm up against younger brown-nosing whipper snappers.
