$#*!@%!!! unemployed AGAIN!!!
"Gandalf" On Mon, 2 Nov 2009 09:50:25 -0800 (PST), BfloPolska : What the hell am I, chopped liver?! If I were, at least I'd have a future as cat food. Roswell park let me and the other temp go--this on the heels of our immediate boss having said they were hiring one other person in there for an open position of data entry clerk. Of course I'd jumped on this right off, sent Boss my resume, and said nothing until after she had dropped the bomb. When I asked if it were too premature to inquire of the status of my application, she apologized and said she could not justify hiring a new clerk presently; further, that she did want to call me back when things picked up. This may also only be so because it is frankly a pain in the tuchas to train a person on their very complex system when I or the other girl can just jump on it. But the other girl is pregnant and who knows if she can be available down the road? Now in fairness to Boss, the economic unpleasantness has been unkind to the hospital. No longer a state facility, it depends on charitable gifts to keep the research and treatments going. A more recent mail campaign was wounded sorely when it came to light that some poor schmuck at the hospital had bought and paid for a colossal mailing list consisting of...the dearly departed. Not recently departed either. Their stay in the Happy Place Where Cancer Doesn't Exist has been going on between five and seven years now. This was just a PR nightmare. Fewer of the living recipients responded to this campaign than had been projected. So, no more work available. I don't even know if I can go back on unemployment benefits, as this was a contract job. The claim in New York is three years in duration, but who the hell knows what the rules are in this instance? I have already had an agency tell me they don't want me unless I do call-center work, that miasma of evil that came close to ruining both my sanity and my marriage. Louie and several friends think I should be up front and tell these people that my medical professional does not believe that such an environment is good for my health. Yeah, good luck with that--who'll believe it? Boy, do I need job purrs now! What a crappy time to get sacked. Blessed be, Baha Well, I certainly know how you feel: I was laid off in July, and I don't have any prospects, so far. Times are tough everywhere; I'm just glad I don't live in Detroit While the lying politicians (is that an oxymoron?) try to convince us the economy is getting 'better', I continue to hear of the large numbers of people, just like you and me, being laid off. Purrs for you to find the kind of job you need too.

Blessed be, Baha Job purrs on the way. I'd certainly check on the unemployment. (I'd also see if your doctor can write a letter stating call center work is out of the question.) Jill |

Thanks...Louie said the same thing about getting docs from the doc. Essentially the doctor's issue about this species of work is in the school of thought as that esteemed organization, AA. Any anonymous member of that group will tell you that part of the recovery process is distancing yourself from places and situations associated with, and leading to, destructive and addictive behavior. My marriage almost went into the toilet when I was at the bank ingratiating myself, and it landed me in the hospital with a heart attack scare. Doc does not want a repeat performance any more than I. And no one wants to believe me when I say it. I did get a call from the people who placed me at Roswell and they sent my resume to a sportswear company that has a contract with the Sabres and Bills. Unlike many other places locally, this company's actually growing. Purrs for Baseball Cap Local 72, anyone? Blessed be, Baha |

I was watching a newscast yesterday where the 'experts' were complaining that people were not going out and spending their money so business was down. Right so far. But they they complained that people were 'saving' their money instead. Hello. Groceries and house payments are now considered saving? The government and the media really don't get it. Jo |

No, they do not get it, but how long has it been since anyone was in office who COULD get it? My mother was one of those old-school Truman democrats who still believed--poor benighted thing--that anyone could grow up to become president. Bull cookies. The best a poor schmuck like me can do is stuff envelopes, frankly, because it's now a rich man's game in a plutocracy. The more I think about stuff like this the more to heart I take the Baha'i teachings about fairer distribution of wealth being a step toward human spiritual progress. I have just been told that some $!@*% baseball cap company downtown rejected my resume because I don't have a degree. A stinking degree to be a file clerk! Excuse me while I go buy a medical license so I can pump gas, please! Blessed be, Baha Venting Blessed be, Baha |

How cruel to be laid off when you were holding hopes for moving to the data entry job! |
