Unemployed at last!

No. Wait. Unemployment at last!

I've been dealing with a snafu with the Arizona unemployment office which has caused me to not get any unemployment payments and which has totally sucked. After 4 weeks of calling the provided number and getting the recording that says "Thanks for calling AZ unemployment. Due to high call volume, we can't help you now, call back later", I FINALLY got through to an actual human being yesterday. They had managed to drop my SSN out of the active claims system but now it's back in and now I'll be collecting my whopping $240/week. Yay! I know $240/week doesn't sound like much but it's WAY more than $0/week so I'm pretty stoked. Plus, they're going to pay me back payments for the last three weeks that got fucked up. Super YAY! Big paycheck for me!

Now, I'm only allowed 19 or 20 weeks of unemployment so we really want me to get that awesome job at the Denver School of Massage, okay? Really really. I had a great interview on Monday and the lady was supposed to call me Friday to schedule a 2nd interview but she was out sick with a high fever soooo... we're hoping she calls me Monday to schedule the 2nd interview and then I'll get hired real quick for this awesome job that is perfect for me, my abilities, and my passion. Okay? Okay. Good. Glad we had this talk.
