Right, in my current jobless state (found another two I'm applying for today though) I have become increasingly sedentary.

Which basically means I'm wasting my time on Dakka, and not really doing anything terribly constructive. Now, on the bright side, there is a new Kitchen and Bathroom being fitted here next week (no, not in this thread. Though perhaps and Ibog could be fitted to all threads, so we can have Ewee's and not leave the keyboard) so I'm hoping I can get involved in that somehow, to keep me active.

But what else can I do? Sadly, due to the kitchen and bathroom, my room is soon to be filled with storage boxes, preventing much minature related activities, which sucks. I mean, the last time I was unemployed I painted around 4,000 points worth of Dark Elves.

Suggestions please?

4,000 points of Ultramarines.

The world needs more Ultramarines.

Don't really play 40k. Got all the books, yeah, and so far my all conquering Ork army is stalled on a single Box of Nobz.

Tonka's Tuff Gitz will have to wait until I find new employment...

Oh, I could write a 40k campaign for Dakka? I know I don't really play it, but I do have all the books necessary, and surely doing something like that will keep my mind awake and active?

Take it you've finished painting the Savage Orcs then?

A campaign may be a good idea I think its important not to just waste time on the net. Last time (hopefully only time) I was out of work was 3 months just after finishing uni.

I didn't do much painting and instead spent most of my time watching skytv. A very poor state of affairs to say the least. Basically I achieved nothing bar gaining a stone and a half in weight due to sitting about eating junk food (which I subsequently dropped within about a month of starting work). Not an experience I care to repeat.

Don't let apathy breed laziness MDK, whatever you do, do something! It's a difficult cycle to break.
