What is your opinion this time?
Well yes, it is a job but in the governments eyes, you're still unemployed because you're not actually employed anywhere but working as a "freelancer" sort of, not bound by any contract whatsoever. So in some way it does and in some other way it doesn't.
Are you dead sure of that?
That in the government's eye you will still be unemployed? It kinda seems that quite a lotta people here talk right out of their ass without actually finding out what that wretched government may actually think about their ass being employed or unemployed. If you are not employed by some business or company and not actively searching for work at that, you are considered to be out of labor force completely. This is how the government will actually see you and your lazy ass. And whether you are self-employed, freelancing, or just mindlessly wanking in the basement of your parents' house will be fucking irrelevant in this regard
