haha well, I'm at the tail-end of a clearance process that pretty much has my hands completely tied until it's granted (for a number of reasons).
BUT, the positives include (1) consistently getting 8-9 hours of sleep every night, (2) waking up naturally instead of to that shrieking ******* alarm noise, (3) having plenty of time to spend with training and nutrition, (4) having plenty of time to do my other hobbies, (5) expand my knowledge in a couple areas of interest (nutrition, statistics), and (6) maintaining relatively low stress all day.
Also the negatives (which might go overlooked) include (1) having no damn income! .. and my finances are slowly dwindling and I don't qualify for unemployment or any of those entitlements, (2) having plenty of time to finish my thesis (nope, it's a negative), (3) birds go TSOO-TSOO-TSOO making laser noises outside my window while dogs bark constantly from 9AM until I get out of bed (and then they stop), (4) not working is nice occasionally, and this will sound stupid, but it legitimately starts to get boring on a tight budget; once you've cleaned your entire house and everything in it, you're limited regarding activities when you're playing with pennies.
I'm sure there are more to each but they get progressively more minuscule and less significant. Now, not having a job
AND having some cash to play with? I'd be doing this => :dance2:
