[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

For some reason Lance, I always thought you had some kind of computer
tech job. You know a lot about that stuff, maybe you should look for one.
If your experience i anything like mine, most inquiries in response to
job postings do not result in a reply. Employers are so rude. Remember
when they had to pay a couple dollars an hour more just to get anyone to
take the job? Those days are coming back, when we least expect them, in
some way nobody could predict. Somehow, God will provide, but as C.S.
Lewis says, there is always a chain of material events from which someone
could deduce "See, it would have happened anyway."

Once again, if you get an unfavorable ruling on unemployment
compensation, appeal it. There are all kinds of errors of judgment made,
and a good chance you could challenge any claim from your employer that
you were fired "for cause." Its generally not good enough that "he just
wasn't working out," there has to be some negligence or gross error on
your part, or you would be entitled to compensation.

That was a surprise Lance. I've been out of work since July 19, haven't
collected unemployment (it was a single incident, but they did have
cause), don't have a family to support, did get work on the pumpkin farm
in October, and had some freelance writing irons in the fire that may
keep me going past the end of the year. Not sure what all this does to my
taxes, since I should be in a lower bracket than expected, but freelance
is taxed for 13.5% social security, and no withholding.

Sounds to me like someone at your employer meant to present your
termination in a way that would routinely inspire the state to give you
unemployment (got laid off, no cause specified), but someone else didn't
know that and equally routinely specified whatever "cause" they thought
they had. If the decision is negative, always appeal. A friend of mine
was told she hadn't worked long enough at her job to qualify for FMLA,
therefore she wasn't even on the payroll after taking time off to have a
baby. The state unemployment examiner said, not under the federal FMLA,
but under the state FMLA you did, so they fired you without cause, and
she got unemployment.

Hopefully you'll find something else soon, but there sure are a lot of
people looking.
