Mokelumne Trekka posted:well drat maybe my situation a couple years ago was different. It took me three months and constant harassment to get unemployment money in British Columbia, and every two weeks I had to fill out a form. And even though I'm a 45 minute drive from the US border I got in big trouble for collecting while briefly in WA. Apparently they cross-reference us leeches with border passport scans.

When I was on unemployment I got so good at checking the boxes on the website that I could do it in like 10 seconds, it was almost muscle memory Easiest $186 per week I've ever gotten, was a great time, ste cookies and watched tv all day while (while diligently struggling to find a job, any job at all, of course) It was a happy time

I went on unemployment once in MD. Called the number and the lady said she needed info for every employer I had for the past 5 years. I told her I was a freelance stagehand for most of that time and had literally hundreds of employers scattered over a half dozen states. After an hour on the phone with me she asked me to hold and when she came back said that they were just going to approve my claim without all the paperwork. I think I got something like $400ish a week? Sadly I actually sent out resumes and got a job like a week later, so I just bought an old revolver with the money.

The kind of stuff I could do with $400/w. I could probably buy a new tent and coffee pot!

$400 a week would cover my rent and leave me with $25 extra at the end of the month, man, that would be living....

Next time, bud, don't send out the resumes. I know, seems obvious in hindsight.

So far I plan to sign up for 'unemployment' 'food stamps' 'obamacare' anything else? Also, does the fact my parents make over 200k disqualify me at all? I'm mad at them at the moment so I'm not receiving any of it. I consider myself independently poor.

Not sure if Odd Todd's been posted. Pretty funny (to unemployment lovers like us) Flash animations about being unemployed by a computer graphic artist, just laid off when he started making them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dMFM-Jqji0&spfreload=10 More here (best watched in the order they were made): http://www.oddtodd.com BigBadSteve fucked around with this message at 13:13 on Sep 2, 2016 |
