    and told i have two weeks... this is based on a couple of reasons but mainly the budget crisis in CA (i'm a student assistant working for the state so we are probably the most expendable asset) and because of the lack of work they can provide me...

    does anyone know if i can collect unemployment? i've been unsuccessfully looking for another job for 7 months so i doubt i can find something in the next two weeks.

    FML

    and please no comments that are degrading towards me. it must be fun treating me like OT's pinata, but please save it for another thread. i'm really not in the mood today.

    Our building in SF is looking for new janitors and from what i hear it pays pretty well for janitorial work. Do you have any experience in this kind of work? From what I hear its not an entry level spot so you may not be qualified.

    I think he may have cut off his intertubes. Nah, just haven't seen him lately. This shows unemployment is harder than actual work, don't let anyone tell you differently.

    i realized last night that my medical/dental coverage expires later this year from my parents, so this might be a great opportunity to find something better.

    TheGarbageMan might be changing his name soon to TheCostcoMan. we'll see.
