Unemployed and Bored

I'm unemployed and I am bored out of my brain. The only thing that really helps is the fact that my girlfriend is also also unemployed. Yeah, it is great spending loads of time together but I can't help but think our spare time could be better spent if we were both working.

From another persons perspective it would seem that I have all the time in the world to do whatever I like, and to some extent it is true. Last Sunday I visited Whitby and this Sunday I went walking around the Yorkshire Moors. I have also watched every football game of the world cup, spent time in the garden and watched films at my leisure. I do consider myself to be an active person and I don't think I could cram all my activities into my life if I was working, but that is the problem. If I was working at least 39 hours of my week would be spent somewhere where I am challenged and out of my comfort zone. The problem with being unemployed is that I am never challenged, nothing is challenging about looking for a job because it is just routine and dull.

I will do anything to pass time like this blog and I have started watching American Chopper every day. Plus things don't seem funny anymore. I think I am slightly spiteful because the world is moving and I am not. One thing I have given up on is computer games, these are bad.

So onwards and upwards, because not everything is dark, I have a job interview next week and I am going to walk into it confidently but not adamant I will get it. In all honesty it is never really the job I dreamt off but I am quite excited about giving it a go. I think once you have been unemployed for a while all sorts of jobs begin to look attractive which you would not have looked at twice when studying at Uni or College. Moreover, I hope I get it because the thought of looking for another job is nauseating.

Another point. Does anyone get unemployed aches and pains they just seem to come from nowhere and for no reason. Is too much rest bad for you? Anyway that is too much boring shit from my the employed or even the unemployed would struggle to understand.
