    DinoDoc, selling the car is what is moronic.
    Looking for a job is REAL easy then, isn't it ?

      I don't own a car.

      Eli, I have DSL, which is $40 a month. I'd cancel it, but that would save me only $20 a month (I'd still have to have some ISP) and it would mean I'd miss phone calls while looking for work (not that I get them all that frequently). It's not like I'm not surfing jobs sites while I'm posting here. When I'm working I make four times what I get on unemployment.

        We were about to buy a car when we got the news that 1) my contract was shorter than expected, and 2) it might not be renewed. I'm not sure if that was a good or bad decision.

          Che,

          You know the holiday season is just around the corner, you may have to suck it up and look at the retailers in the mall. They always seem to be hiring part timers around this season.

            If 20 people here put in 10 bucks each we can help Che out. I'll give him a tenner.

              Ah, that sucks .

              Ogie is correct though with holiday workers. That can help while you are looking.

              The government does tend to suck though. It is such a massive bureaucracy, I bet the person telling you about Illinois unemployment didn't even know it'd immediately cancel Florida's.

                  Bunnygrrl's looking for (and has interviewed for) work at the local mall. She's up for a stocker position at Parisian (which has hired up a huge number of ex-Jake employees--they were understaffed before) and also at William-Sonoma.

                  For me, I have to be really careful. If I make too much money with a job, I'll lose the unemployment but take home less because of taxes.

                    I'll chip in for a tenner, but I won't be able to do it until after the 11th.

                          Why not arrange courses?

                          You're a good artist and handy with computers - now every one wants to go to a computer course. Give cheap lessons to friends of friends or something.

                            Nasty one, Che. I was on the dole for 9 months in the early 90's myself. It's not an experience I'd hurry to repeat.

                              Richelieu, basically I have a range where it would be detrimental for me to work. If I work a little bit, I'm okay, but just a little more than that and it is counter-productive from the POV of paying bills. Then there is a range I have to get over before I start bringing home more than I had on unemployment.
