Yeah I'm really really sorry to everyone for my foul language on my last entry. You got to understand what type of effect that had on me. But here I am, it's July now and I'm still jobless. no i'm not going to throw a tantrim this time.
I'm calm actually. Been meditating a lot, trying to keep my nerves under a good check. IT's been helping actually. My mother-in-law got me a plant, one of those closet plants. I don't know what the name of it is. but it's really pretty. And you barely give it any sun, but just enough to grow. Funny how talking to it actually helps it grow new buds and leaves. It's been growing fast smile
I've been playing with my cats more. I think they love the idea that i'm home more. THey absolutely get more attention lol.
It took like 4 weeks of investigation though, with unemployment agency that is, to get my old job to pay for my UI benefits. So i'm basically getting half of what I made at my old job. Which is shitty for one reason, they lied to me. They said I would get 90% the first 8 weeks and then 75% after that. But I was directly cut to 50%. So i'm not happy.
I'm afraid to bring it up as if i'm going to get cut down more. I guess it's better than getting nothing right. This doesn't mean i'm a lazy bum. Beleive me!. I work my a** off every day looking for work from 7 am to about 1pm. After that I am a housewife, doing chores, taking care of the cats, cleaning, cooking , washing clothes, doing bills, budgeting and barely having enough time for me to relax. I"m surprised I haven't dropped weight.
Funny how I've futzin gained weight. I don't understand. The only thing I can think of is stress eating. But I'm only eating more smaller meals to make up for the more energy i'm burning. I'm on my feet a hell of a lot more. sigh. UI is not as easy as people think. You really have to log everything. And you can't lie to them, you could either go to jail or lose your benefits.
And NO tax payers are not paying for the UI benefits, it comes directly from your old job that laid you off, they pay the state and the state pays you. That's how it works.
bah. I'm tired. I need to relax after all the work i've done today...migraine..ugh.
