I filed for unemployment this morning.  I’ve been working since I was a teenager and never filed before.  I have to say it was confusing even though I thought I had all my information figured out prior to starting.  I have two masters and I found some of the wording vague.  The instructions for each section were in small print, way up on the left.  It tok me awhile to figure out they were there, even though I read all the directions prior to starting.  At one point I even thought about giving up and starting again another day.  But I was threatened by the fact that if I stopped all the information I already had figured out how to enter would be lost.  Sigh.  Maybe I was overthinking the whole thing.

A lot of people use the public computers at the library to do this.  They are limited to 30 minutes there unless there is no one waiting, or they let us know they need more time when they start.  It took me 40 minutes to enter everything, and I didn’t have distractions like occur in the library.  Well, maybe I did.  I had this Sheltie dog that kept whining and jumping on me.

Anyway, that part is done.  I still have to upload my resume.  Time for that tomorrow.  This afternoon I’m going over to the elderly aunt’s place and help her finish cleaning everything out of her kitchen and bathroom as her building is going to be spraying each apartment.  What a job!  She’s way too old to be doing this.  I wonder what other residents are doing, those without family to help them.

More on the world of unemployment later…
