A funny thing happened to me on the way to work last week....
I had to stop at the unemployment office last WEd because work has been so sporadic that i need it on a semi-regular basis. So when i was called back to work i tried to get them to switch the appointment so that i could work, but they still insisted that i make my appointment. So i missed out of half a days work-pay to go to unemployment. Try that logic on for a while...
Anyway, while i was there my UI Agent (who i will call Big Fat Joe - he was literally twice my size and ate the whole time i was there) tried to talk me into trying their Job Training program. I looked at it a bit and wasn't really into what they wanted. I'm trying to get out of construction, i am NOTnot becoming a business beaver, and i certaintly am not a nursing or PT candidate (lift that leg one more time maam, or you're going out the window! +smash* Ahhhhhhhhh...)
He then mentioned that i could just go to school and possibly qualify for the unemployment. So i thought about that for a little bit and walked on down the hall (the UI Office is at the college campus. Nice placement). I ended up talking to a Admissions Agent and ended up with a placement test date the next day (I'm sure it had nothing to do with that fact that she was smoking hot..). That night i applied for FIN AID and got enough to pay my way (and probably half my books if i'm lucky) and was quickly accepted. I took the placement test the next day (i had to take everything since i am ancient) and then worked out a class schedule 15 minutes later. Today my transcripts finally appeared and i'm off to finalize everything.
So by the end of the day i'll officially be a Liberal Arts/Social Sciences student at CCC.
Yay for me!
Here's to my teachers being older than me...i hope *clink*
