Yep, I saw this comin. We hadn't been gettin but like maybe 20 hrs a week for the past couple months. But it's official, I'll be regersting @ the online VEC later today. @ least I'll have a steady income until an oppertunity arrises. But I am def ISO some odd job type stuff. (this is not a plug:))
Hey, maybe I can get in on some of this Obama action? Yeah, that's it. I can be one of millions depending on guys like you to help buy my groceries!:harhar:

Sorry to hear that guys. I was looking at jobs on the popular job sites, and it appears that the if your a nurse or a physical thereapist you have your choosing of jobs. Page after page of em.
I was looking for something part time, but nothing close by except Sonic... I shall keep looking.

Ya know its pretty sad when you have put a lot of money into an education and an employer wants a certian level of education but doesnt want to pay squat! :mad:

Well I have some really good news..

I GOT MY JOB BACK!!!

The boss called me this morning to tell me that work has dramatically picked up and I can come back in on Mon. I was at my breaking point with the VEC, I have yet to see one dime of benefits in over 3 weeks. :mad: Mybe I'll finally get my unemployment sometime around December as an extra Christmas bonus! :harhar: Maybe now I can afford to go 4 wheelin again soon. Can I get an Amen on that my brothas ?!!

That's good new man! Maybe the economy will start turning upward before our gov't manages to run all the jobs overseas....

You mean you work did not file for your un-employment for you? Our company files for us when we have our first week of eligibility and then files for each week we are off after that. Fortunately I have 6 weeks paid vacation so I did not have to file for the few days I was laid off. I lost a total of 1 week and 3 separate days.

I'm proud to say that I haven't had to accept un-employment in my life but if I have to I will, thats why we pay into it each pay-day.
