I think I have finally gotten the unemployment situation straightened out. It was such a pain. Since the feds don't need to report wages to the state, the state unemployment office had no records of me working and therefore won't approve me for unemployment. They requested the necessary info from FEMA, but apparently FEMA is too busy to respond ( Read more... )

There's not much that's new and exciting around here. I'm still trying to get the house, etc in order before the baby comes. Other than that, it's kind of the same old stuff ( Read more... )

Ok, so I had yet another doctor's appointment last night. At this point, I am going every two weeks. I have one more at the 2 week interval, then I start going every week! I swear I've spent more time at the doctor's office in the last year than I have my entire life. It's for a good cause, so it's all good ( Read more... )

Again, it's been a little while since I've had a chance to write in LJ. It's weird really because I thought that being home would give me more time...but apparently the opposite has happened. I'm constantly running here and there and doing this or that. I guess with the baby coming in a matter of weeks, I feel the need to get as much of my house ( Read more... )

I am officially unemployed. My last day with FEMA was September 30th and it's been nothing but headaches ever since. My boss didn't even have the nerve to call me and wish me good luck, etc. Not that I was expecting much from him (that's the type of guy he is)and I do understand that he was on a business trip, but come on. The other issue is ( Read more... )

The weekend turned out a lot better than I had planned. Thankfully!!! The painting party went well and no one got hurt, mamed, or killed in the process. My mom brought her friend with her and between the two of them, they politely kicked my mother-in-law into a "supervisory" role. Meaning, they did't really let her help with the actual painting ( Read more... )

My allergy situation seems to be improving slightly. I can breathe through one nostril now, so it's better than it was. I can't really do too much about it anyway, so I guess I've sort of just given up and gotten used it. Oh well ( Read more... )

Just to get it out of the way, there is still no word on the job situation. I'm tired of worrying about it and at this point, I'm so fed up that I am actually starting not to care anymore. But, enough about that fiasco ( Read more... )

The week is almost over and I'm still no closer to a resolution in the job department. I have 2 weeks left and then it's unemployment. The list of qualified people is in, but the supervisor has been out all week on a business trip. So, nothing got done. I guess I shouldn't complain...it could be a lot worse, but I'm very frustrated.
