Misconceptions of the Employed

I find that when a person becomes unemployed that my employed freinds and family think that I have all sorts of time on my hands. Well, folks, this is simply not true. I spend an average of 35 to 40 hours per week on job search and I attend workshops and webinars and networking groups.
I will admit that I can get menial tasks done in a better time frame than when I have to adhere to a work schedule, but that is a positive of my situation and having any psoitves at this point is a great feeling.
