I had a couple of sudden bouts of unexpected unemployment (altho it didn't take me long to find new work) & I (mostly) managed to see it as temporary vacation. Of course I had the advantage of earning enough that I was able to live off of unemployment benefits and savings for a couple months without much worry or compromise to my quality of life.
