There is hardly a day goes by when I don't consider my own state of being unemployed for over a year now and I've come to the conclusion that I am one of the lucky ones.
My thinking is this:
I have been out of work for a while, so I don't have the shock of having the rug pulled out from under me with subsequent loss of self esteem.
I can shop so-as to get bargain food, bogof offers etc, so that I can eat really well for very little.
I am able to pick and chose my Daytime TV so-as not to become one with the sofa.
I do not suffer with the fortnightly visit to the jobcentre and the feeling of despair and despondency that can come of this.
I am able to fill my time, doing what I want with very little dosh changing hands.
Dennypoos.............comfy with myself.........a job would be handy though.
