It took a month and a half, but I have secured employment. I was denied unemployment benefits because I was terminated for breaking policy, not for something like attendance or attitude. What?
Anyway. I have two part time jobs now, one of which will work me 32 hours a week and pay me 12c less than what I made at THD. And it's not a management position. What?
The other will only work me up to 3 days a week, and mostly a shorter shift (5-6h) unless it happens to be an overnight shift, which will be a full 8 hours. The second one said they were happy to work around the first, since they submitted the offer of work right after I accepted the first, and they were REALLY impressed with me during the interview but had already filled their last full time position.
I'm very enthusiastic about both. The work will be easy, it's something I'm familiar with (one is for a cafe that serves simple, higher end fast food type things inside a retail store, the other is a sales floor associate/cashier combination position in a national drug store). The kicker is I'm most likely going to bring home more money, because they're both part time and thus less taxes will come out, and at least one doesn't offer health insurance to part timers, like THD. The other, it appears, offers it, but the premium is most likely ridiculous, but I'm under the impression full benefits are offered. We shall see. Depending on what the first job's take home is like, I may use the second job just to pay for benefits. That'd work for me.
With the first, in six months if I'm tired of being in the cafe, I'm free to apply to other departments in the store. We'll see. Apparently most of the people in that department have been there for years - but they're full time. It's the part timers that get fed up and leave. I think they've just had a bad turn with finding people with good work ethics. I don't foresee any issues.
I have a GoFundMe fundraiser up, we're at about half of our goal for getting our bills paid for the month. I had BARELY enough to cover last month left over from THD. Without getting anything from unemployment, we're screwed this month. My paychecks wont' start coming in until after the 15th, but we should be okay heading into October. If you guys would be willing to drop some pennies in the hat and pass it around, I'll be forever grateful. Becoming unemployed right after losing a baby and buying a house has been incredibly, INCREDIBLY heartbreaking and indescribably stressful. Just when I think I've experienced enough to break me, something else happens. I honestly don't know how I've made it through the summer.
