Hello, my name is Artem, I’m from Ukraine, and I’m working as a DevOps Engineer.

Used to work because my contract with team exceeded.

Now I’m unemployed. When I actually received information about my dismissal from the project, I was shocked a bit: there is a war, economic problems in Ukraine because of war, it’s my first time when I actually got fired suddenly, etc.

Everybody knows the bad side of being unemployed, but today I want to tell you about the advantages of this status. What you can do being unemployed?

Here it is:

  • Do creative stuff you can’t do while workday.
  • Walk around all city while listening music.
  • Watch all movies starring Jake Gyllenhaal.
  • Gather experience via books, travels that will be much more valuable than your salary.
  • Spent time with people you really appreciate.
  • Train your boxing skills in shadow fight.
  • Try to cook something new, even if it’s not tasty.
  • Lie on the bad and do nothing.
  • Lie on the bed and listen music.
  • Drink beer even at working days.
  • Ask people to support you on Patreon to buy beer (My Patreon).
  • Playing nostalgic games from your childhood.
  • Talk with your friends on discord 24/7.
  • Add to LinkedIn experience tab 1 month of experience of being unemployed.
  • Write an article about how it’s cool to be unemployed.
  • Imagine what superpower you would like to have as a super h
  • Mix up what day is today exactly because every day is a holiday for you.
  • Think about your life, whether you have chosen a correct path.
  • Develop a giant plan for self-education and do nothing from this roadmap.
  • Do nothing and call it is what it is and not a “procrastination”.
  • Imagine how it would be cool to open your restaurant in Spain where you will serve burgers and hot dogs.
  • Write novels you will never share with someone because these novels are trash and bullshit.
  • Feel yourself like Big Lebowski because you’re unemployed.
  • Came up with genius ideas and questions like: “If gold ingot will be found in a trash bin, is it government or garbage company property?”
  • Walk around malls, looking for stuff you don’t need at all.
  • Write articles about topics you’re interested in.

Summarizing, there are lots of impressive advantages of being unemployed. Try it by yourself, you’ll like it 😉.
