Whew! I missed out on so much!!

AB, I'm pulling for you! I hope you get a little more time to unwind & de-stress! The right job will come along! It's so sweet of your hubby to understand you want to find the 'right' job & not just a job! I'm kinda in the same situation. I had to find a job & some days I feel stuck. Most people don't even know I have my JD. Sometimes I wonder if it was all worth it but I have to remind myself to have faith that it will all work out! Some days are harder than others but I know it will!

Red & El! You guys are just all over my head with these computers & net books! Lol! Now I know who to call if mines is having a temper tantrum!

Kabonk I keep forgetting that you are in MI! I went to grad school in Lansing! NC is home but I do miss it sometimes & wonder if I'd be in a better position had I stayed instead of returning home. I want to get back up there sometime to visit some of my good friends who are between Detroit, Lansing, & Chicago now!

I did file for unemployment, it takes 2 weeks to start so I'm praying that I get it and that the company doesn't fight me on it. That would be awful, I don't want to fight over anything! I just feel like I need a little break from all the stress, ya know?

Pardon my French, but screw them farging bastages !!(I love Johnny Dangerously, reckon I'm showing my age) You fight like hell if you have to. Not only will it empower you, it will help with your job search - they can't fire you "for cause" and then end up having to cover your unemployment benefit. Your future employer is smart enough to know that. And as for hubby pushing you to get back out there, remember, men don't think the way you do. He's either scared or just trying to make sure you get right back on that horse, before fear or depression sets in. As smart as you are, my guess is that it's the second option. I can't imagine you chose one who doesn't really support you 100%.......

I don't know what it's like in AL but it takes a good 2 months at least to get a good job at good pay in MI unless I just want to do contract work for a few months

Fact I ran across the last time DH was unemployed - expect 1 month of unemployment for every 10K you were/want to make. That was about right in his case......

Hey Charm! Where's that avatar you keep promising us???

OK, here I am. This pic wasn't too many LBS ago. The "boys" in the pic are two of my three furbabies. The black&white one is Tyler (he's a speed freak& rides daddy's motorcycle) & the brown&white one is Oliver(he's just precious, and if you don't believe it, just ask him).

    I think I'm about ready to pass out girls and guys! I'm confused charm (btw, love the pic, too cute, all of you) if they fired me for "cause" means they should NOT pay me unemployment or they should? The cause they fired me for was not sending that forged document, what they said was that I kept asking them to fire me. It would be pretty hard to fight them without a lawyer and those bad boys cost money lmao...lots and lots of money.

    I'm not sure how it is in AL every state is different but here you can fight it if it's denied and they will pay you after a waiting period of 13 weeks but I would call the state of AL tomorrow and find out what the process is and file anyway and fight it if it's denied because you have nothing to loose
