The state of "Joblessness"

Well its some time since I read about the finite state machines in college but my current state of activity can also be categorized as one of the "states".. maybe we should open up another branch of finite state machines and call them "life-state machines"... okay enough of nerdy PJs... here I am with few salient features of self-proclaimed life-state machine - "state of joblessness"
You know you are in this state when
  • you do not have any fixed time to get up in the morning
  • when you get up, you are at a total loss of how your day is going to be or what needs to be done during the day
  • you brush your teeth at 11 AM and then again go off to sleep
  • you spend 90% of the time you are awake staring either on your laptop or the idiot-box
  • you have only food in your mind the rest of the 10%
  • you are at the peak of procrastination
  • you need to kick-start your brain for the most basic of its functions
  • you are too lazy to do things which you swore on doing when you were busy
(am too brain-dead to think of anything else)

Also for advanced courses, the state of joblessness can be categorized into two :-
  1. Happy - when the joblessness is self-inflicted... typically the period of inactivity before something big.. the lull before the storm... u know this is your time and you want to make the most of it because these happy states of joblessness do seldom come in your life....
  2. Sad - when the joblessness is some third-party cause... this can be depressing as you did not want this state but was forcefully thrown upon you... typically resigning from ur job due to discontent, fired, etc are causes behind this... God forbid but I hope no one falls into this state as its not at all pleasant and probably the least wanted....

now that my gyan is over.. time to again get back to my HAPPY state of joblessness... duh I took 20 mins to type this much... thats around 2% of my daily time.... too bad...
lets go back to inactivity!!! :D
