Here we go again!

I swear unemployment has more loops, boops and bops than anything in this world.

Last month we (the unemployed) received a letter. It  encourage us to goto school.  I had received a call from a UCworker. In this phone call, I mention attending  school in the new year.

*dropping the needle on the record*

UC works says I have to flag your account  for school in 2010. Huh? Why? School can enable you to seek a job. Huh? How? You would not seek a job while in school.  *insert roll the eyes*  Are you serious?  School is no  longer 8am to 8pm. School is24/7. You can go online, on the weekend or @10pm at nite. Florida is a 24/7 type of place. If u can find employment, you can balance school and a job.

What do I say always write? So who did I write? Yep! i wrote the director over Fla-AWI. She did not return a letter to me. One of her assistants called and left me a voicemail, she was so clueless.  I shook my head to the message.  Next write the dept of labor and  ask Why are we being flag for attending school.  IF we are submitting job searches with our claims for unemployment, we are looking for job.

It feels good to have an actual job with real money. Again we are not sitting fat off of $275.00 a week. When I tell folks about our uc benefits. They are like really. How do you survive on that? You dont! I replied. Those of us receiving UC benefits for them.

But,we do not wish to treated ignorantly. More Folks are unemployed in Fla.

Hopefully, we can survive this mess.
