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

Unemployment = Animal CrueltyI was unempolyed for over year, way back at the beginning of the 90's
My body clock was reversed and i lived the life of a vampire, minus the blood sucking.
Boredom is a much touted word, but most folk aren't truly bored. Actual boredom, the real stuff, is absolutely horrific.
On one occassion i was actually up and awake during the day and decided to do a wee experiment on the masses of pigeons that gathered outside my house.
I dissolved dozens of soluble asprins and soaked the resulting liquid up with some bread that i then fed to the pigeons. One in particular ate most of the poisoned offerings.
What happened, fuck all. It flew to a window ledge and sat there, looking very much alive.
Fuck this, i thought, i had to up the stakes. So i got another piece of bread and squirted a whole load of superglue inside it and fed it to a seagull that promptly retched it back up in a most comical fashion.
I do have more stories, but i've repressed my time on the dole, so they might be a bit slow in coming back to me
