Was laid off in November. Also learning RoR and JavaScript. Why? Don't know, but got bored out of my gourd playing with all my belly lint. I have been teaching myself how to program in Python.

It keeps you mentally sharp. Achieving the goals I set for myself in a day always puts me in a good mood. And good moods during unemployment can be hard to come by sometimes. Good luck.

I use these games to assess my biorhythms for the day. So, for instance, if I score over 6000 playing Solitaire my physiological well-being is pretty good. Over 7000 is an excellent day. Then I play Sodoku on Miniclip and if I finish the easy one in less than 5 minutes, then I'm having a good intellectual day. (Don't judge me. Everyone has to establish their own goals.) Anyway, thank you Norm - I'm starting to enjoy myself and to figure out how long I can survive on unemployment. The process of simplifying my life could be a very spiritual journey and probably will take a lot of my time.

Hang in there, you'll work again.
