Be careful what you complain about.
Yes, my DD connection has been restored, and I got a lot more. I will explain.
I have two lodgers in my bedroom and invading my kitchen. To wit: Tracey and Gryffan. Tracey was nine days short of completing her probation when she was fired. Something about performance issues. No warning. No previous comments on her performance. She's pregnant? Naw...that can't be the reason. C'mon. Hmmmph! Of course they can't say it.
And to make matters even worse, when she called about registering for unemployment compensation, she was told she had to wait for two months. My question is "What is she to live on those two months without salary? Her massive savings account? That doesn't exist? Two months!? Has anyone else gotten that kind of info?
Well, the upshot is that they can't move into their apartment until Tracey is employed again. Gryffan doesn't make enough money to pay rent and have anything left over for things like food.
Thankfully, the manager has agreed to hold the apartment, but for how long? Her boss, the owner, may object to anything more than one month, so the manager doesn't have much leeway. Crossed fingers here.
Tracey has been looking, and sending out her resume. But she does have this handicap. ![]()
So there you have it. I'm not lonesome any more.
Bless the day

Let's pray for a way BETTER job and soon.
Have fun with your company!
Now tell me who are these couple??? friends? neighbors? relatives??
What a shame she can't work up until she has the baby,.
My granddaughter was so lucky her job let her work until the day.. and then paid her maternity leave for a couple months..
as for the unemployment issue.. if she quit it can take up to 6 weeks, but if she was fired.. or laid off only 2 weeks.. Have her call legal services and clarify that .. Course I have not been on unemployment compensation for years and as someone said.. state to state things are different.. I've never heard of a 2 month wait anywhere.. But learning these days.. There is much I haven't heard
;/
as soon as I left that comment I remembered who your grandson was!! it isn't that I don't pay attention.. it is my brain is off!!! I turned it off some time ago..
Burnt out?? or something.. I just can't make connections that were once there ..
Sorry. I did know about your gs and his expectant gf .. isn't she due in Dec?? I can't believe they fired her for being PG..She can't be that big yet?? I mean.. .. What would be their reasoning??Maybe they don't want to get stuck paying for leave when she has the baby.. but still.. Dec.. is months away!!! and do all buz have to pay maternity leave??
