*****

I've only drawn unemployment once in my life but the conditions for me to do so was I had to be actively looking for a job, and I had to mail in a form where I listed at least 10 places per week where I submitted applications.

I know a guy who's laid off from his job making recreation equipment and there's no guarantee he'll be called back. Instead of looking for for another job, what's he doing? Fishing 6-7 days a week while drawing his $600+ a week unemployment and laughing that he makes more money fishing than he did working.
