Unemployment has screwed up. I called in my claim, like I have to do every other week, on Tuesday. I should have gotten my check on Thursday. I went to the mailbox… no check. I went to the mailbox today… no check. I called them.. sat on hold for 15 minutes only to be told that everyone who did their claim on Tuesday has not gotten a check and they are investigating what happened to the checks.
That wouldn’t be a really big problem except I paid my rent with a check that’s now no good. Most of the money is in my account for the rent and the unemployment check would have made up the rest. Unemployment told me to call them next week if I haven’t gotten my check. Thank goodness I go back to work on Monday and I won’t have to rely on unemployment anymore. We’ll probably have to end up borrowing the balance of the rent due or calling them to see if they’ll hold it until hubby get’s paid on Friday. They’re already holding till Monday for me because I had to pay it on Thursday and I told them my unemployment check was late.
I’m glad that we don’t depend on unemployment as our only source of income or we’d really be screwed this coming week.
I’m about to flip out here. On top of this I was to get paid for some things I did and will only be getting paid for part of them this week. The others will be paid on the next payday. Sigh!!! When it rains … it pours.
