Heading over to the unemployment office, but doubt I will qualify as I quit and didn't get fired.
Just a quick butt-in, you may in fact qualify, I too quit my job as I couldnt tolerate my manager and her harassing ,( quite a few of my fellow employee's also left)
I didnt think I would be eligible , so didnt even attempt to get unemployment, after 6 months a GF suggest i try and explain why I left, so I did-- , had the phone interview and lo and behold, I did start rec'ving unemployment! Find out even one ex employee was looking into a lawsuit, I was honest w/ the phone interviewer on how it was getting harder and harder to work there , after being employed there 5 yrs with no problems.
I did not try for apply for 6 months after not finding any employment so they may of taken that into consideration also
Either way it dosnt hurt to try Good Luck!
Be Happy for this Moment, This Moment is your Life
Hey BND: I love reading your posts. I just wanted to say that.
In terms of the unemployment issues, I am sure I was blamed for everything after I left. But, ironically, I did contact my previous firm today to let them know I was moving back east, and asked if I could use them as a reference.
They said yes...
I was really surprised, but after explaining the sitch w/ my brother, the office administrator told me I could use her as a reference (she was on maternity leave when I was fired).
One thing I have found in dealing with unemployment is to claim hostile work environment, and it surely sounds like you had one. That is one reason that you can quit AND get unemployment.
And chances are they will try to dispute it. DON'T GIVE UP! Just because they dispute does not mean the local unemployment office will believe them!
xxoo Lola
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
BND, How did it go? With the many talents that you have, it won't be long before you'll be in another permanent position, i.e., better working conditions and more pay. Hang in there!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Things happen for a reason....I think the good man upstairs has something else in mind for you.
Do not forget to submit your forms each week. This is very important.
Enjoy your day!

I am pulling for this to turn out in such a way that you will be smiling and saying, "Everything happened just the way I needed it to."
Oh,and I will hope for it to happen soon! Time is of the essence, of course!
Thanks for the chat today. Your advice just kept on working. Guess who is calling me later??? That puts my mind at rest for what really happens on Friday nights!
I have been getting things done at home. I actually wallpapered my D13's room.
Yesterday I filled out a 62 page application for a housing rehabilitation program. Our house is over 100 years old.We desperately need a new roof, and do not have the funds right now.
I don't know if we will be approved or not, but I had to try.
This is the stuff that still gets to me.
I am in this financial position through no fault of my own and I hate it.
My MIL will never pay back the $47K she owes, but she still continues to support her other Son and his wife instead of paying us back the money.
Eventually things will fall into place for us I know that. I just hate struggling and wold love to have a little break once in a while.
End of pity party!!!
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
((())). I know those thoughts and feelings. My x still owes me money, but I just let it slide,now I here about his villa in the sun now and again and his life and I get that it should have been me feeling. I know your m was restored and inaway I wonder if that makes it harder. Still all we have is right now and we cannot go down the other route,but the odd moan is allowed.
That puts my mind at rest for what really happens on Friday nights!
