Since 1/1/03. I did not apply for unemployment until May. Jobs around here are scare unless you accept minimum wage. I just don't see how people can make it on that.

Same thing in Ct Carol. The best I've been able to find is $9/hr and not even a full 40 hours a week. I'm getting the max CT unemployeement benefit of $408/wk. My extension runs out week of 11/3. Hope something breaks by then or that another extension is passed.

Until this time the longest I had ever been out of work was 5 weeks back in 1982 and I thought that was bad. Well live and learn I quess.

 

[jamsmom]

philaround- I am getting the max for Texas which is ONLY $328 at this time. Sure doesn't go very far.

[jamsmom]

I think this thread should continue until I have a job and post that I have a job......of course, the rate it is going, the thread will outlive everyone except Pay and Amy's great-great-great grandchildren!!!



(Can you tell I am getting tired of the job search thing?)O

 

[Mr.MouseFan]

Welcome Galaxy and I'll send pixie dust best wishes for jamsmom and philaround in their job searches. Been there - not too much fun.

Meanwhile, this is the first time I've had access to my computer since the blackout. I was stranded on the 46th floor of my office Thursday, had to walk down all those flights of stairs. Then walked to my 78 year old MIL's to see if she was okay (15 more flights up and 15 down), then walked over the Queensboro bridge and the 6 miles home and up 4 more flights of stairs (80 in all). My poor legs are still a little sore and I have blisters all over my feet.

We got power after 26 hours and headed to our beach house only to sit in horrible thunder storms with the lights flickering and cable TV going out. Not the most relaxing weekend I've ever spent.

I guess the lucky part is that normally I would have been on the subway when the power went out, but DH and I were going out to celebrate our 13th(!) wedding anniversary so I wasn't stranded in the subway for 2 & 1/2 hours like my co-worker.

Did I say "Good morning, everyone??" I'm so thrilled to have electricity and a HOT starbucks coffee in hand.
