I’m feeling down right now.
I have not received my unemployment checks for the last few weeks, and I could never get through to a live person when I tried calling for assistance. Although I kept claiming my weeks, the money still wasn’t coming in.
Today, I finally got to talk to somebody.
It seems that I’m earning $26 too much per week.
Can you believe it?
No note, no email to explain this.
Ultimately, no money.
What this tells me is that I’m supposed to be working less to get the assistance I need…that little bit to help keep me from going under each month.
I’m totally disheartened and frustrated. It’s not in my nature to take the easy road.
Sigh…
Think I’ll go have a pity party for a while.

GAAAK!
How disheartening. I’m looking for the lesson here. If you find it first, tell me.
One of the postive things that I’ve gotten out of unemployment is a greater sensitivity to others. When I’m in a group and folks are talking about going to Hawaii for Spring Break, and I’m thinking of how to get groceries, I realize that I used to do that.
I used to talk about ME. What I was doing. Where I was going. (Okay, I still haven’t broken the habit. I hope I’m getting better.)
I know there’s a piece of wisdom in your convoluted situation. Until then. you’re in my prayers.
I think the lessons are trust and simplicity. I do like your reminder that we need to remove the focus from ourselves. It gives us perspective.
I hate to hear that for so many reason… that you are trying to work & $26 is going to make them cause not to help anymore? And people who dont work at all feel like they deserve their checks… oh, thats just so sad…
I hope it all works out…. & you know God is going to bless you in everything!!!! Hang in there girlie!
I’ll bring flowers & balloons to your pity party to make you smile! 🙂
