Updated 10/24–seems the VEC has changed its mind. No checks for me. Assholes.
I applied for unemployment at the beginning of the week and, by god, they’ve already processed my claim. The downer to this is that I have to register with an online job finder service. It works like 50 blind monkeys designed it. Why there’s not an option to “upload resume”, I’ll never understand. Instead there’s some sort of stupid question gauntlet that you have to go through. Because I have to, I went through the gauntlet. Until I’m told I have to go there again, I’m staying the hell away from that site.
I’m a professional with a very specific career goal. I’m not sure that website is really going to be of much help to me. I understand why it’s there, but it’s not really for the whitest of white collar folks. For real, I sit around all day reading a bunch of documents and then I talk to people. Once I’ve gotten all the information together, I turn it into training courses. How is a website that wants to know if I know how to fill out a form* going to help me? Whatever. There’s the hoop and here’s my jump.
*Really, there was a question about if I knew how to fill out a form. As I was filling out a form. Meta? Irony? Stupid shit?
