    I'm so fed up with the catty baloney!!!

    So I thought my boss not scheduling me for the month of January was a bratty teenage girl move, but this is really the cherry on top.

    My boss called me early last week or the week before to tell me she got the unemployment claim from me. I swore she told me she was going to contest it and I pretty much blew the lid. I was civil, but I told her it was ridiculous that she took all my hours AND was going to take unemployment from me as well. How am I supposed to pay my bills with no job and no unemployment?!!! I didn't quit, she basically fired me! Then she says "No no no! You didn't hear me right, I'm not contesting, so you will get it!" ......

    I call unemployment today to see what the heck is going on because I'm not getting any money. Oh, guess what! She IS contesting it! RRRRRR!!!! So either I heard her right and she's such a pansy that she lied to me after I responded, or I heard her wrong and she just straight up lied to me from the start!!! I was really upset on the phone with unemployment about her lying to me, but the guy was a sweetie and said they would do everything they could to get me the money, but I had to have a hearing first. They will back pay for all this time, but not until I win.

    For those who have different unemployment laws, in Iowa you can receive unemployment benefits if you are cut hours even if you're part time. It was settled that I was going to get 80% of my pay every week, minus the hours I still worked (two days the entire month). I got the debit card and everything set up, then that witch sent in her letter of contest.....

    I'm so angry right now!!!! I'm going for a drive to cool off and get my dang license renewed....

    A midnight commando raid, dispensing .....ohhhhh say a thousand or so live crickets through the mail slot would be a terrible, terrible thing to happen to the place you no longer work.

    I'm sure it would make you very, very sad.

    Very.

    Crickets are cheap too.

    Just in case you didn't know.

    Sorry Steph, but as the law states that you are entitled, what the basis does she have for contesting it?

    Thank you Judy I can't wait to get a new job. So far no luck other than stupid insurance sales (commission jobs).

    Yeah...I couldn't count how many times she and the supervisor below her have lied to me. It seems like it's part of their mission statement to lie!

    I have no idea. The only stipulation is that I have to be willing and able to work if they have hours for me. She never asked me to work any extra so I didn't turn anything down. She might say that I didn't go to the meeting this month, but they didn't even give me the schedule that has the meeting dates/times on them. When I went to work to pick up my paycheck today they treated me like a total outcast. I haven't been fired, quit, let go, nothing, just left off the schedule. Our paychecks/schedules are in a filing cabinet and my team lead acted like I didn't work there anymore, got in my mailbox and gave me my check. It's so messed up.

    The thing about retribution, or justice as the case here represents, is that is must be done in such a fashion as to be utterly untraceable to any one source.

    Time. Time must pass, weeks maybe, a month or two, and then perhaps right before St. Patrick's Day or some other celebratory occasion, by some fluke of the US Postal service hundreds and hundreds of live crickets would be Special Deliveried by Super Secret Midnight Postal Courier and then, for at least several day, many a chirp jerk and shiver would felt by those who done ya wrong.

    But that's all just an old man's imaginings and nothing more. We all know that; such an imagination I have...
