Quick not-very-happy fly-by. Irony or not - you decide!
This morning I paid off my Disney trip online!
This afternoon I was fired.
Okay, really, I hated everything about my job except for the hours, but still.

WHAT....no way...
you were so good in that job and did everything those jerks told you to do.
let the joke be on them.
sit back and draw your unemployement benefits.
no penalty since you were let go.
you start drawing 2 weeks after you file.
go file for the UCB tomorrow morning!
i thought you were full time.
well, check out UCB any how.
you started at full time and were cut back. you might have enough time in to qualify.
it only takes your time to find out if you are eligible for unemployment compensation.
if you quit a job, you are penalized in illinois for 10 weeks before you can draw UCB. if you are fired, you only have a week penalty and then start receiving your benefits on the second week.
moral to story: don't ever quit a job. be fired and make more money with less penalty.
i would think that ucb would be similar in WS as in IL.
google ucb for your state.
go in person and file.
the unemployment offices are packed on fridays.
that is the day of the week most get the pink slip.
go on friday and avoid the long lines.
one of my sons got fired at christmas time.
they said crap that wasn't so.
he drew ucb quickly. but then illinois had a 10.7% unemployment rate this past year.
marcie, i would do the same thing and contact the people you would have business with and let them know you were let go without warning or any counseling on job improvement.
if that company had a human affairs//resources department, i would let them know how unfair this all happened. you weren't given any opportunity to let them know you can be flexible and have them increase your hours.
the boss dude is just trying to cover his butt in case you fight this.
one bit of advice:
not all women look good and wear stripes well.
forget about the shopping spree on their credit card.........
look forward to your trip to the motherland.
give yourself some time off, do the trip, get the kids back in school then decide of looking for another job.
but do checkout if you are eligible for ucb as a pt time employee.
hang in there........

marcie, came back to add how proud i am of u for taking all your notes with you when you left.
don't make life easy for them.
if they call you for information.....tell them you don't work for them anymore.
or better yet, tell them you are an independent business woman and can do hourly consultations for them at $100 an hour.

Collect unemployment and take it easy before your trip to the motherland.
I must ask you about your count down calendar, I want to make 1 for my boys but how? what?
You can use your expertise elsewhere!!! Like on here

One of DD's friends just got back from a Dis/Uni trip and big surprise for you all 
she liked Uni the best and wants to go back again.
I've been checking the mail every day like a mad woman looking for the check where we had over paid on child support. I've already got it spent.
DD leaves for her Myrtle trip tonight at midnight. I'm scared. I've never let her go like this before. Camps, yes, but I drove her there and it was only 2 hrs from home. Not 11 hrs and not me or DH driving.
And I just found out that her friend's brother was having another boy as his beach buddy for the week. I told her to make sure the bedroom doors were locked. Would've been nice when we talked to the parents months ago, if they had let us know that little fact.
And I just watched the Liam Neeson movie Taken and that really doesn't help matters much. But it did help me to sit down and talk with her about not trusting anyone when they are on the beach--even cute guys.
If you haven't seen Taken, rent it--its a pretty good action movie about the female sex slave trade.
Off to make some brownies and just finished baking some fantastic gf bread. (Can't figure out why my DH was a little testy when I sent some bread in his lunch that had a wee bit of mold on it.
