This is a question Unemployed

I was Mordred writes, "I've been out of work for a while now... however, every cloud must have a silver lining. Tell us your stories of the upside to unemployment."

You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

Employment makes me supid
First year of university - No Job - passed the year.

Seond year of University - Job in Student Union Bar - Failed the Year

Repeat of Second Year - Still had the job in the SU bar - Failed 2 exams (plus resits) and had to complete an academic appeal to get into third year (So I didn't enroll until December)

Third Year - Gave up SU job, everything was fine. Got a job in a Karaoke bar 1 month before my dissertation is due.

But I caught on so I quit my new job after 2 shifts so that I have time to write the 12,000 words that I should have been writing all year but have left until the last minute. As you do.

But on the upside because I enrolled so late I got a 1 month dissertation extension :)

And of all the things I could be worrying about, for example, Lack of cleverness resulting in Joblessness resulting in lack of money resulting in homelessness.
No. I am now upset because everyone else will hand in their dissertation a month before me so I'll miss all of the parties :(

One of the reasons I came to uni was because my college tutor told me I'm 'not uni material' and I wanted to prove her wrong. She is wrong - I am uni material as long as I remain unemployed (and relatively sober)
