I hate the government. I don't understand how half of it works, but I hate it. The entire legal system and social welfare programs are broken, the whole damn lot of it.
They denied me unemployment. What makes no sense to me is that even that Patty is the one who laid me off, they were going to get my pay from the last 4 jobs I had. These included 2 part time jobs, and the two $8/hr jobs I had, one of which wasn't even considered full-time by the goverment (as it was below 40 hours a week). It seems strange to me that other employers would be held accountable for something Patty did. In any event, I didn't think anything of it, figuring a lay off is always acceptable for unemployment. But apparently, it isn't. Because the other jobs they were using to pay me I had quit. To go on to other employment. And so I didn't meet the criteria, and therefore I get no money. Not like they were going to pay me enough, but all the bills would have been covered and Greg would only have to worry about the rent. Now, I don't know what we are going to do. I have been applying to all kinds of places. Half of them I can't call and follow up on because there is no contact info on them from career builder. All the ones I followed up on the positions were filled, like within two days of me submitting my resume. WTF?
It's a gorgeous day out, but I feel like shit. My bridal shower is tomorrow and there is going to be like... 6 people there. My whole family lives out of state, and so do most of my friends. The other friends I have in state all copped out. Some of them half to work, which is understandable, but the rest of them... they are too busy with grad school (it's SATURDAY), are doing YARDWORK... or decided at the last minute not to come. Jesus. So I'm broke, I feel like no one cares enough to be bothered to even come to my shower, and I can't decide on what to wear.
I'm pathetic.
