SO what are you doing with your time? *For the unemployed - still.*

After over 1 year searching for entry level positions here in STL, I've taken up power lifting as my reason for existence!

No money left to fuel my vehicle or "go out", but health and fitness still remain relatively cheap.

So what are you doing to pass the daylight hours when everyone else is making money?

I play bass, study, and try to get my name around so I can have a few lucrative contracts by the time summer has come.

That would seem like the best way to become employed?

Studying helps pass the time a lot of the time, both music and school work

I'm not employed right now. I'm not working on anything either. When I get more time (and the said contracts) for actual work, I'll consider myself to be my own employer.

After being out of "real" full-time work for a year I decided to go back to school. Best decision I ever made. I go to school four days a week and have a crappy low-paying weekend job the other three days. School (or some sort of certification or training program) is the best way to fill this time if at all possible.

On the subject with filling out applications, I've taken up filling out health insurance app's! (They love asthmatics who used to smoke.)

Yes, I'm going back for 3 credit hours - all that I can afford - for the summer.

I've been unemployed since May, 2008. When I'm not searching for work (mostly on the internet), I help my brother install computers at the University (they don't have funds to employ new staff and are short handed). I also volunteer in the Anthropology lab where I used to work, operating and maintaining their HPLC system.

I managed to scrape enough money together to get a Peavey Millennium BXP. I don't have an amp to play it on, but I do have GuitarPort and Gearbox on my computer.
