Sorry to hear that Siarlys. Thank you for the words of encouragement.

collected unemployment (it was a single incident, but they did have<br>
cause), don't have a family to support, did get work on the pumpkin farm<br>
in October, and had some freelance writing irons in the fire that may<br>
keep me going past the end of the year. Not sure what all this does to my<br>
taxes, since I should be in a lower bracket than expected, but freelance<br>
is taxed for 13.5% social security, and no withholding.<br>
<br>
Sounds to me like someone at your employer meant to present your<br>
termination in a way that would routinely inspire the state to give you<br>
unemployment (got laid off, no cause specified), but someone else didn't<br>
know that and equally routinely specified whatever "cause" they thought<br>
they had. If the decision is negative, always appeal. A friend of mine<br>
was told she hadn't worked long enough at her job to qualify for FMLA,<br>
therefore she wasn't even on the payroll after taking time off to have a<br>
baby. The state unemployment examiner said, not under the federal FMLA,<br>
but under the state FMLA you did, so they fired you without cause, and<br>
she got unemployment.<br>
<br>
Hopefully you'll find something else soon, but there sure are a lot of<br>
people looking.<br>
