you shouldn't feel neither some sort of "guilty" nor to
walk/stay
on an "self-destruction tip" cause of unemployness !
My point is that I
can not afford paid help.
You HAVE a realistic alternative EVERYTIME cause as an unemployed
you have a lot of time.
SERIOUSLY WRONG!
A trip to a government office for people hunting for a job cost me about
2 hours yesterday.
Yesterday, I was in a 1.5 hour meeting with the IRS.
etc.
you need to get rid of your "uncertainness" (my impression)
and to
allow yourself
to make mistakes and maybe break your box. It's just a machine !
If your cell phone were to fail, and you had nothing else to fall back
on, and that caused you to miss payments, important communications,
etc., would you as quickly say your cell phone is "just a machine"?
I do take risks, including with my workstation. But I try to be careful
about the risks that I take.
