I found out today that I fell just $200 short of wages earned in a certain qualifying quarter or phase of the moon or whatever, of being eligible for unemployment benefits.
Why, oh why, couldn't I have been more of a forward-thinking cheating scoundrel, and padded my time sheet during some of those lean weeks? I could be paying my mortgage right now! Instead of getting my nerve up to call the bank and explain why I'm going to be late.
This whole job thing just doesn't seem to be working out for me. Every place that I've done freelance work loves having me there, but can't afford to hire anyone full time. Then, some shit hits some fan and they can't afford to keep their freelancers. So, screw work, I'm becoming a Welfare Queen. I probably won't be able to keep my house, but c'est la vie. I'll be driving a Cadillac!
