I will keel you.
May. 13th, 2009 06:18 pmThings are not looking good for my unemployment claim. Granted, they might not have reviewed and processed the forms I faxed in today, but it's still not looking good. What's confusing is that they're also sending me biweekly claim and direct deposit forms. Do they think I'm going to give them my bank account numbers and file a biweekly claim for no money? It's sort of a mixed signal.
The reason cited for my ineligibility, also, frankly pisses me off. The exact words are, "Base period wages not within $70.00 of one and one half times your high quarter." Which I think is gummint-ese for, "You made more in the last quarter of the year than in the first three quarters combined." And I'm all like, "Yeah, geniuses, those are the numbers that tend to appear with returning Peace Corps Volunteers. Are you assholes gonna punish me for handing over two years of my life for almost no money?"
Ah, shit. Waiting tables again is starting to look like a good idea. And I haven't even thought about restaurants in the area for years. I remember working at Chevy's, and not fondly. I don't know if any other place would be kinder.
Where the hell is that Reconsideration Request form?
