Good read, The Troops.
When I first moved in with my sister I didn't have a job for...almost a year. I showed up on her porch one night covered in wine. I had a wicked shiner for some reason I still can't remember. I had to walk to her house because I forgot where I left my car. Pretty lame! When she came outside in the afternoon to smoke a cigarette she said "HEY! What're you doing here? And why do you smell...like...oh god..."
I sat up, vomited, and said "Hi, I'm going to live with you now."
I spent the next four months on her couch playing Dragon Quest 7, watching daytime tv, and drinking cheap scotch.
Then I got a job, made money, and here I am!
In hindsight...I have to say that that was the most fun I've had in my life.

Didn't you feel guilty or ashamed of doing this? Not meaning to offend or anything, I would just feel like a prick if I was relying on someone else to live in that manner.
I am generally too racked with guilt or shame to even consider extended periods of unemployment, simply because I'd be terrified to leave the house if I thought people were talking about my parasitic lifestyle behind my back. Here's to a Catholic education! |
Sorry Maz! I forgot all about this thread...
Anyway, yeah I did feel incredibly ashamed. But not at first. The first couple weeks it was cool but after that I could tell it was starting to wear on them. So...I spent a couple more months doing it even though I knew it was annoying my sister.
When I did get my job I gave her almost the entirety of my first few checks to "make up for back rent". It was actually quite a sum and much more rent that was needed but...whatever. I ate food, showered, washed my clothes, and took up space. Seemed fair.
