If your wife (like mine god bless her) can support you and you have a young child at home (like me), then sit back and enjoy the unemployment benefits until they run out, treasure the chance to spend time with you child that you'll NEVER GET BACK. If you happen to live in a domicile for a regional, MAYBE. Otherwise, stay the hell away. The pittance you'll earn is not worth what you'll pay in child care, crash pad, meals, etc. Not to mention all the time away from your family.
I understand getting nervous, wondering how long the furlough will last. I have my days as well. However, 6 months into a furlough I have:
-Spent every night in my own bed
-Haven't been sick (cold/flu/food poisoning) once. -I swear I pick up more freaking germs flying jets around and sleeping in hotels
-Spent EVERY holiday at home- priceless with a 7 year-old
-Take my kid to school every day, enjoying the company of the countless hot-moms.
-Gotten my money's worth out of my mountain bike and my ski-pass.
The list goes on and on...I may look back on this time as some of the best in my life.
Now don't get me wrong...I'll be glad when I get the call to come back to work, but I'm sure as $hit enjoying the time at home-collecting unemployment- while I can. And if the unemployment runs out and I'm still not back? I'll find a regular-joe office job or work part-time at something I enjoy, not selling my soul (and my family) to some regional outfit.
