I've collected lots of information as I wind myself through the maze of my job situation. As one person told me, the fact that I actually got to talk to an adjudicator at unemployment was like a gift from on high. A lot of feet dragging going on, not beneficial for my health or productivity at all.
One has to take a passive aggressive stance, be cooperative and pleasant and let the wheels roll on. If I can make it through this, sometimes I do wonder.
I did go down to a place supporting employment at the local community college. Designed to help unemployed folks out of their predicament. Maybe stimulus money? I don't know. The lobby was full of computers and phones and fax machines and people to help. A lot of people there very busy, mostly white males. Seeking employment. Busy. They have some interesting workshops, I know they've helped Linda P a lot. But the person I met with, who had good ideas over the phone didn't help me much other than tell me to give it a rest, do something for myself because nothing had really happened yet. I know I clearly looked frustrated and stressed after today's shenanigans.
All are seekers at this place. Are they all looking for the same thing? Am I?
