Well, I know I’ve been absent from this site for a while and I apologize for that. But now I find myself with some free time. I recently lost my job.
This is the first time in my adult life that I’ve not had a job. I’m a little out of sorts, I don’t really know what to do with myself. I mean, I’m applying for jobs and cutting coupons and whatnot, but it just all seems so surreal. Every morning I feel like I should get ready for work. I even had a nightmare that I had to go back and they just kept moving my stuff around the office without telling me where they were moving me and treating me like I wasn’t wanted there. I’m sure that’s just a lot of pent up hurt trying to find a way out, still it threw me off all the next day.
Today I’m going to the unemployment office with a friend. I have no idea what to expect (except that I should bring a book 
). Do you dress nicely to go to the unemployment office? What paperwork should I bring? If you cry does that help or hurt or does it do nothing for you? Are they as lovely as the people at my DMV or are they a little more understanding since every one coming in has lost their job?
I guess I’ll find out today, I’ll try to report back to you on how the unemployment office works out. My company didn’t pay into unemployment so it should be interesting. I was told that it doesn’t mean I wont get it (they will just charge my old job for my unemployment) but it still makes me a little uneasy.
