Funemployment

  

Being unemployed can be a real drag…but it doesn’t have to be. Why not make the most of our time between jobs by cultivating our hobbies, chillin’ with our other at-home friends, and remembering what it feels like to get a solid eight hours of sleep at night? We could dust off the old Nintendo and brush up on our Mario Kart skills, or we could finally clean out and reorganize the garage (hey, we all find enjoyment in different places).

In other words, why not turn our unemployment into funemployment?

Funemployment is what happens when people decide to embrace their joblessness, to use this unencumbered time to do things they enjoy that they might not get to do when they’re working. Of course, this is a lot easier to do if being unemployed isn’t causing us to lose our house or eat cat food for dinner, but if we’re in the enviable position of not actually needing to work for a little while, the funemployment club is always looking for new members.
