Appealing

As of late, I've been job hunting and job hunting and, yes, more job hunting. I finally found one....but not before becoming increasingly broke, and finally filing for unemployment insurance benefits.

It should be noted here that when the decision is made to file for unemployment benefits, for me anyway, it's beyond the point of needing it - otherwise, I wouldn't have done it.

I need to tell you about the ridiculous snail's pace at which the state of Arkansas operates, but you couldn't grasp the true meaning unless you experience it. To give you an idea, it's almost as bad as waiting for a new and exciting post from Julia. But takes longer.

So anyway, I filed for unemployment (because, among other reasons, I realized that soon I would have no money to job hunt) and followed all the rules, and finally received a letter of determination in which they denied said benefits.

In the meantime, I found a job. My first day is this Monday. So the question becomes do I appeal for payment during the days/months I was unemployed? Hell yes, I appeal. I don't give a damn if it is denied again. I realize I'll probably never see a dime of that 1/10th percent of my former pay I would have gotten.

It's the principle.

Because I can, and because of that lazy bitch I spoke with during my wait on a decision who gave me NOT ONE DAMN ANSWER TO ANY QUESTION I ASKED HER except to say "you jus' have to wait on yo' letta." Because of the fact that they sit over there and don't do shit, and I feel like tax payers ought to be paying for them to work.

So they can work on my damned appeal.
