Hi! I am starting this blog due to the fact that I am currently unemployed & am trying to stave off the depression looming around the corner. Been there, done that, sooo not fun. I also need to vent my seething hatred for all things so assbackwards it sends me into a bedroom tantrum fit for the best of youtube rantings.
I have worked two jobs for the past five years so I am used to scheduling EVERYTHING and trying to make sure there was time for a nap. Now I find I don't want to schedule ANYTHING and trying to stay awake. Yeah, stay awake.
When I was laid off from my first job (nicknamed: the bread winner) I began filing for unemployment even though I was still working my second job (nicknamed: extras only) because I didn't make enough there to pay for my household (duh, extras ONLY). Today I had to call the unemployment office to report that I was given notice that I no longer had a position at extras only after not being placed on the schedule for two and half months (employment limbo). Although I have been receiving benefits for a few months, my benefits will be suspended until they determine I am eligible for unemployment which could take two weeks. Now for the ranting...
Anyone notice what today's date is? Yep, rent time! I will not be able to pay rent, phone, or INTERNET! These are the things that keep me (somewhat) sane! Not to mention, gas, food, & cat supplies (7 in house kitties, 6 others in various locations). I am so pissed I could hiss & spit! I don't get why they need to suspend my current benefits seeing as how I am owed the balance that is allotted to me right now. They are really throwing a monkey wrench in an already smoking, rattling, broken-down, bent outta shape, running behind and low on fluids machine.
Now I am racking my brain trying to figure out how to stall everyone until this mess is sorted out. Any suggestions? I'll be here all week...
