    Spent a year and a half unemployed and it was the best time of my life. The only part that sucked was the looking and interviewing for jobs part.

      nope. if I had infinite money I could enjoy the rest of my life being unemployed. that’s not doing nothing mind you, just nothing for money. it’s incredible how much employment hampers creativity and, funnily enough, productivity.

      Working in an “essential job” meant I really missed out on the furlough holiday that most of my friends had.

      I dunno, this is the happiest I’ve been in decades.* If it weren’t for the whole “you need to prove you’re allowed to exist by giving us money every month for the rest of your life” thing, I’d be pretty content.

      Granted, I’ve been in intensive therapy for almost a year and still suffer from debilitating depression (amongst other various maladies), so “happy” is a very relative term. Existence is hell.
