Normally when Im feeling this pissed off, I go through my phone contacts and ask a number of people if they want to go get a drink. But since Im not drinking today, tomorrow, or even next week, I cant do that.
I did an ABC worksheet from SMART Recovery and am feeling a little better but the idea of getting buzzed still sounds appealing.
I am currently unemployed and my unemployment benefits are pending which means for the past 3 weeks my income has been zero.
My last job was taking care of someone's foster daughter but I got paid through a company that administers the money because it is paid from the state because it is foster care, a lot of people who have foster kids use them to pay their respite workers because the foster parents cannot pay that state money directly.
I found out today that my claim is pending because the company put down that I quit, which I most certainly did not.
I had the woman I worked for (the foster mom) call and tell them no, I didnt quit and I didnt get fired. The company called me back and was giving me the run around telling me I need to come in and that they want to set me up with interviews with other foster kids. I asked what that had to do with fact that they incorrectly reported to unemployment security that I quit? More b.s. that I need to come in. Which is a lie. When I have asked about other openings they sent me all the info via email. They are just trying to get out of paying unemployment. I got really irritated with the girl and she transferred me to her boss when I kept asking what does you trying to set me up with another job have to do with the fact that you reported incorrectly that I quit. I left a vm with him saying I didnt understand why they are trying to give me such a hard time. Although I know damn well the reason is because they are trying to get out of paying unemployment!
Thanks for letting me vent.
I could really use a beer, but I am not going to drink.
