Flight of the Unicorn
Unemployment

My interview call with Unemployment was today. I was told that they are going to wait for the judge's decision on the time period that I was in school before sending me a check for the time period I was out of school and looking for work. The timing is not good. I might not receive that check for 2 - 3 weeks ... or more ... really, really not good.

I am going to have a lot of decisions to make. I cannot ask my landlady to wait that long, even though I know she would, because she's angelic. heart It just wouldn't be honorable though ...

The woman I spoke to on the phone (from Unemployment) said that I should be getting paid for the weeks that I was sending in the forms while I was looking for work. So, I will (probably? definitely?) be receiving a check with enough money to pay next month's expenses, but not in time to pay the rent. I'm trying to decide what to do. I have some relatives I could borrow money from who are fairly well off ... oh, I would hate doing that so much ... I hate borrowing - I just hate it ... I know they would gladly lend it to me, though, knowing that I should have a check coming from Unemployment within the next 2 - 3 weeks ... The whole thing is just deeply humiliating. I can't wait until I've got a job (that won't kill me - oh, heck, even if it was a filing room I could probably stick it out for a few months before it would start to become toxic ... I think ... ) I have a horror of filing rooms now. I'd literally rather be flipping burgers, cleaning toilets, or scrubbing floors than working in a filing room again ... I just want to be out on the other side of this - employed. I can't be picky at this point in time, but I'm so nervous ...

Very neurotic right now - I need to get offline and go look for work now. I hate waiting for important paperwork. xp
