Anybody unemployed & bored

[babifever]

Dont know how much longer I can take it.

Me. Lol. I work as a nanny but was let go right before I found out I was pregnant. They decided to send the kids to daycare because it was cheaper...even though they had promised me a year and it had only been 6 mos Now when I try to find a new family no one will hire me because I'm pregnant. I've been super sick though so I guess I don't mind too much. I also babysit my friend's lil boy a few times a week so that helps with the boredom some.

I was unemployed (well not technically, I was working for myself in real estate and it was like not having a job) for over a year. I got an office job in property management 3 months ago. I needed the structure because I was slowly going insane. But this job is soooooo boring it's like being unemployed. It doesn't challenge me in the slightest and its mostly mundane administrative work. I literally countdown the minutes until I can leave (I work from 8:30 to 6pm). I just cannot wait to get home and into my elastic waistband pants and crawl under my blankie. I can appreciate it because I don't get to do it very much.

But when I was unemployed I spent a lot of time at Starbucks. Sometimes it was just helpful having someplace to go.

Okay, one hour and twenty minutes left. Argh!

Me! It sucks! I'm bored all day!

 

[dojenstein]

The grass is always greener. I so wish I was home. But I'm sure I'd get bored of that eventually too.

35 minutes and counting!

I lost my job in June 2014. I'm terribly bored yal. I guess I need to go ahead and accept it, maybe I'll be happier.

Any hobbies you can take up to keep you busy? Scrapbooking is my thing, makes me fly. Yoga? Reading? Knitting? Could make a cute baby blanket or something.

I crochet and read. Right now I'm reading "The Queen's Confessions". Very good book! But my eyes get tired and i have so much on my mind... i have to be in the mood to crochet. I also sew but i need a machine now. I lost mine in a move last year and I've been asking dh for one so, we'll see how that goes.... I'm gonna make my baby's crib set but i have to wait find out what I'm having first to do that....same with diaper covers, Halloween costume, and Room decor that i plan to either sew or crochet... so for now, i have nothing really to do I have adult ADHD really bad so my mind goes crazy all day and i have to keep myself busy or i get depressed, sad, anxious, nervous, schizo kind of... but I'm pretty good at entertaining myself... I'm gonna pick up painting again, i think it'll help me a lot because it's something easy to do that distracts my mind from whatever's bothering me...

half of my battle has been acceptance that I lost my job and haven't been able to find another one. At the beginning it was alot of financial stress and disappointment not landing a job. This pregnancy has given me happiness. At this point I'm trying to find a at home position. Painting sounds nice.....where could I find some inexpensive supplies?

Joanne fabrics or Michaels. You could get basic supplies for less than $35 and probably paint 30 or more pictures with those supplies you just get a large sketch pad meant for mixed media, it's really thick paper. Then 1 of each acrylic paint in red, yellow, blue, white and black. With that you can make any color in the world. And a set of basic brushes ☺ if you want to get fancy you can get a small easel and other little things. But I keep it simple hth

Me a 100% I lost my job in December due to bloody agency work! My oh works so my day consists of either doing absolutely nothing or I go on a bit of a mad one where I clean top to bottom of the house and I mean every little corner and then walk the dog to get my 'exercise' and then I just count down the minutes till ohs back, all my friends are either horrible people who I wouldn't really class as friends or they've got kids of their own and don't live near to visit 😔 it's a boring life at least at 9 months I will have this one to keep me busy lol xxx

 

[wlovew]

Right heeeere!! I am very thankful to be able to hang out at home all the time but it would really be nice if I had some friends in the same situation!!! Or if I could just win the lotto, that would be pretty damn amazing :/

I'm working full time, but I won't be working come may and I worry about this. My job is very very very busy and quite stressful as I work with significantly severe needs kids. I love it and I can't wait for the break, but I am also sure I will quickly get bored come summer break. Let me know if you find really great ways to keep occupied so I can use them

Anyone looking for a job?

I was heavily. Now trying to land a at home position

 

[littlejune]

babifever- that sounds stressful and amazing and rewarding. If I didn't feel strongly led to work in the public school systems to help developmentally and behaviourally challenged kids I would be doing something exactly the same- or I would actually be using my degree to work as a therapist lol.

Anyway, I have also been selling nursery decor for a few months *started before my bfp* so if any one needs custom made stuff- I'm cheap lol. That's my time consumer for now.
