"First of all I should say that I agree with davy" - Norman Tebbit.

I spent an entire unemployed winter doing nothing much except to draw dole, play roleplaying games and occasionally smoke dope. I didn't see daylight for six months, due to going to bed at dawn and getting up at or after sunset. A shocking waste of tax payer's money, except that I was *seriously* depressed and going nowhere at the beginning of that winter, and more or less sorted out and working in a brand new career[1] as a lab tech soon after.

[1] Well, it would have been if I hadn't ended up with a disabling chronic illness, but them's the breaks.
