I don't know yet what I'm getting.  $611 a week would be nice, that almost $16 an hour for doing nothing.

Damn that sucks man. Best of luck.

Sorry to hear this.   Wish you luck.

Rumor has it DTNA down here is laying off Friday (my 98th day of unemployment). I start on Monday replacing a guy that is going back to the Lazy B (what hiring freeze?). Fuck it, I'm foing.

I enjoyed the first two months even though I sold some things to make ends meet. UI is only $507/wk max w/ Obama/taxpayer bump in Oregon.

There isn't much that is as exhilarating as not knowing what is going to happen next. Have fun!

Sorry to hear that.

I hope something turns up quickly for you.

In the meantime .... having alot of free time during the summer months could equal some good times or completion of some home / yard projects you've been putting off.

Best of luck

Gibby... check your IM's.  I have a line on two tech support jobs you may be interested in. Unfortunately, both are in DT Seattle.  One is with a company I'm currently interviewing with, they are looking for a lot of people with some level of Exchange, ASAP!  They want to hire so fast, they want me to give my current employeer a 1 week (or less) notice rather than the standard two.

Hey Gibby......I talked with a friend that works for Siemens out at Microsoft and they are needing people pretty bad. I'm not sure what type of IT experience you have, but from what he said; there are alot of positions on different levels.

But, if you have your A+ certification that would put you ahead of the other applicants that aren't certified. It's not required though. Here are some other prospects:

Good Luck, sir!!

Sweet!  But I'm still not going to take a long hot shower into the wee hours of the night with you.

You say that now.......but wait 'til I get you drunk and I throw on my Big Bird costume.

MMMmmmmmmmmm Big Bird!

Well I get the blue envelope today and I thinking great my first check!

Nope.

"No payment in being issued for the week ending 6/13/09"

So it appears that with me filing last Tuesday that last week was my waiting week.

I hate to be a dark cloud... BUT........ Don't get your hopes up to far.  

Because you worked last week (albiet 2 days), they may have decided you made to enough money. THIS week might be your waiting week, and you will not see a check until the week of 29th-5th for non-work the week of the 22nd-28th.

That is what happened to me, I didn't see an actual check for almost 3 weeks, Although, I was let go on a Thursday or Friday, not a Tuesday. But I still filed everything they day it happened.  Continue to file your claim even if this is your waiting week.
