A few friends and colleagues find themselves between jobs at the moment (evil credit crunch and all that), so I’ve come up with a few things to do whilst unemployed:

• Find a new job – bit obvious really, but should be a priority, even if you’ve got wads of redundancy money. It will run out.
• Don’t just chill out for too long as you’ll end up feeling pressure to do something, or to get a job.
• Don’t think people envy you for having free time. They don’t. Play the pity angle ….
• …. which means people will buy you drinks, thinking you can’t afford it
• Learn something new. You do have free time, so take advantage of it. When I had a few months of at the beginning of this year, I decided to learn PowerShell and blog about it. Stop doing this new thing once you get a new job.
• Buy more lottery tickets.
• Play the latest Wii/XBox/PS3 game to completion. In my case, it was Zelda – Twilight Princess on the Wii.
• If you have a live-in other half, do a higher percentage of the housework.
