I Despise Sleep

[Kim]

Sleep is kinda fun, in its own way, when you wrap yourself in fifty blankets after a day of working in the cold or whatever. The rest of the time it is pretty much the worst thing. There are only twenty-four hours in the day, and sleep kills six on average. I call bullshit on sleep!

Who will join me in my anti-sleep rebellion?

[Krylo]

I feel the same way, and usually end up too tired to enjoy myself if left to my own devices as a result. I don't want to sleep because I want to do more shit before I sleep, so then I don't sleep and I'm too tired to do the shit I want to do but I don't want to sleep because I still want to do it before 'tomorrow' so I get more tired and man, sleep can just go fuck itself.

Sleep is for the weak.

Having said that, I tend to do a lot of sleeping lately, because you know what sucks even more than sleeping? Unemployment.

[Krylo]

Unemployed also, my good man.

I disagree, however. Unemployment rocks.

What's that you say, Mr. Government? 200 dollars every week? For a year? With a 25 dollar per week raise in February? And all I have to do is make a token attempt at getting a job? Hells yes!

Hey now, some of us need our beauty sleep.

Also, dreaming is fun. My sleep dreams are a whole lot more crazy than my daydreams.

[Magic_Marker]

I remember dreams. I have awesome dreams.

Sleep fuckin' rocks.

[Krylo]

Fuck you guys, this is a thread for people that hate sleep.

Also, I never remember my dreams, so there's that.

It is depressing when you lose your job before completing the last few months of a 5 year apprenticeship and can't find any way to actually finish it because no one else is taking nearly qualified people on for a year or more. Also I only get £50 a week. Which is shit.

Also it's boring as fuck, so much so I have felt genuine depression for the first time in my life this year, becuase there's nothing to do all day every day to occupy my time.

So I sleep and don't dream, and don't get paid and feel like I've just wasted the last 5 years of my life and it's shit.

So yeah, fuck sleep and fuck unemployment!

Man, here--what do you usually do when you aren't working? Do you chill with friends? Do you play video games? Do you, like, go and work out? Go hiking?

Do that shit, but do it MORE because you don't have to WORK.

Seriously, I've never understood how people can be bored without work. Sure it takes like a few weeks to adjust, but there is just so much shit to do in this world, and not a whole lot of it even requires money.

I have, since losing my job, beaten Dragon Age three times (and each time was amazing, I want to do a fourth one soonish), beaten Assassin's Creed, went through the Wild ARMs games that I bought in depression when my ex broke up with me but never had time to play, started replaying FFX (due to an RP I am in right now), I'm planning a trip across the country in February, I have begun baking cookies like twice a week, I cook more and eat better for it, spend more time on the forums... and I really need to text Stacy (ex-coworker) and see if she wants to hang out sometime.

She stopped messaging me shortly after she was told she'd be fired if she testified at my unemployment insurance hearing. I think she thinks I'm pissed at her or something, 'cause she said she would, but I'm totally not.

Anyway, point being--I don't know how long you've been fired, and yeah the wasted apprenticeship kinda sucks (can you pick that up at any time, or does it have to be five years in a row), but you can TOTALLY fill all that time with things that are better than working.
