I am afraid of what this week will bring. My unemployment just ran out, I have no job after applying for 100 jobs in the past 6 months, I think my husband is cheating - again - and I just do not want to wake up tomorrow.

I was the OP whose boss was fighting my unemployment. He lost. Apparently having cancer, doctors notes, all the dates and requests I put in that he signed off on was a big plus on my side. My advice is keep copies of every doctors note. Oh and they even noticed that the two "write ups" I had for attendance were not signed by me. If you are going to have someone sign them make sure they can get my very hard to spell last night correct. Now I can focus on fighting the cancer and not him!!!! Sorry for any spelling mistakes I am writing this in my car from the parking lot :)

Here is one of the worst feelings in the world as I enter my 5th month of unemployment...I submit my resume for a job. A week goes by and I see the job posted again. So I think that maybe I didn't submit correctly or they maybe didn't get it. Another 2 weeks go by and the same job is posted again. Fuck.

Pro-tip...if you're ever fired/laid off from a job and they act like they're doing you a favor by giving you the option to resign...DO. NOT. DO. IT. It means you can't get unemployment because it makes it look like you voluntarily left the job.

Has anyone had to to a meeting for unemployment? I knew my boss was going to fight it becasue he fights every single one ...I just dont know what to expect

I'm debating failing my EPIC training. If you fail, you are fired. If I can get a couple years of unemployment, I could finish my degree. I won't do it but it is fun thinking about it.

WooHoo! Getting laid off! This summer is going to be great! I only needed a fraction of the money I was making to supplement my DHs income. Unemployment will cover that.

My paycheck bounced, two weeks in a row. I went to unemployment and was denied because they say I quit. WTF?

I am unemployed, but I was treated so badly at my last job(including being physically poked by my supervisor even though I kept asking her to stop) that I am nervous about actually going back to work again.I really want to milk unemployment as long as I can. Maybe I should see a therapist or something. I am not lazy, I am really scared to go back to work.

I have an idea, why doesn't the unemployment office create a ton new jobs. That would help remediate two problems: the long wait times to get a hold of a representative and it would give a few needy people a job.
