Time to play which one sucks most! Are you ready?
Question: What sucks most?
a) Learning that you no longer qualify for state funded health care because you make a lavish $900 a month at your part time job that doesn't even have enough money in the bank to pay you at the end of the month...no really, they asked us to hold our paychecks for a couple weeks...for the second month in a row.
b)Learning that the 150th job application you sent in for a position opening didn't make it into the candidate pool because you were competing against people with a masters degree and 40 years experience for an entry level administrative assistant job.
c) Going out into nature to calm yourself down and try to forget about your crappy day only to get a HUGE clump of sap in your hair...you know the kind that doesn't wash out?
d) All of the above happening on the same day.
If you answered "d" than you are today's winner! Congratulations, your prize is a getting laid off and evicted from the home you've lived in for 60 years! Yay!
The best part about all of this is that the health insurance I had for 6 months, which I qualified for in last December required that I apply for unemployment (which they never required me to do before) in order to reapply (participants have to reapply every 6 months). Even after I explained to them that I did not want to because the system was already overburdened and I was making ends meet with my part time job, they said I would be disqualified if I did not. I tossed and turned for over a month, really resenting the fact that in order to have health care I was being forced to apply for unneeded unemployment...when I had a job! Then when I finally caved and applied for unemployment the state decides my $902.48 take home monthly income is just too lavish and I don't qualify. So now I get the joys of calling up unemployment (who are harder to get on the phone than the IRS during tax season) and ask them to cancel my claim.
On top of that...I can still smell the sap in my hair.
