14 more weeks paid obamacation
« on: January 13, 2010, 01:42:14 PM »
My previous employer is kind of dragging their feet in rehiring people (and not much in the way of other jobs around), and I was a bit worried because this was my last week of my current extension on Unemployment. The wording of the notice at the dept of labor was a little confusing, so I wasn't positive I was getting another extension, but I just got a letter today. 14 more weeks of benefits dropped into my account. That gets me almost to May if necessary, and I think there is another 13 week federal extension, plus 13 week state extension after that.

Now that I have successfully quit smoking, I'm actually netting more money than when I was working.

Don't feel too lonely there Crock.  I just got the word literally minutes ago that - once again - I have worked myself out of a job, at least for the nonce.

So, I'll be submitting for my Øbama-Money agin this weekend.  Dammit.  :bawl:

When I get the axe next month, it looks like I'll be getting about $561/week.
Since I don't have any debt, I can probably live on that for a while.

Oh Crap D6.  I seem to recall you just started one?  That so sucks.  And it sucks for BC and CS and all y'all. 

Just damn. 

I know lots of recruiters, if anyone wants to move to Big D.  Aside from that, the only thing I can do is say it sucks.

I know.  Being laid off would be better in the summer when the weather is nicer, though, wouldn't it?

Whatever.    I have right at 20+ yrs of HR/Benefits exp in the DFW area.  I keep contacts.  Networking is key.  So, recruiters call me often when they have jobs available, and I pass the word if I know someone.

Ma'am, I could kiss you. 

I think I'm okay for now, but if you knew of someone who could use a good accountant (with a CPA), I've got a BIL who just had to move from Georgia because he worked himself out of a job back in April.  PM me for more info, or if you think of a contact I can pass a long to him.

Bless you, young lady.

Ma'am.  Cute.  I ain't that old now!  Been working since college, and just stayed in the same field, partially due to a lack of desire to start all over.  Consider yourself PM'd.

IassaFTots, know anyone looking for someone on the level of a VP of Product Development (degree Industrial Design)?   :-) 

Actually we can't move for another 18 months or my husband has to pay back the money they used to bribe him with to move.  :whatever:

Worth a shot...thanks anyway. I am in the process of learning computer programming languages for a career change. I've been looking for entry-level work, but all of it requires a Bachelors in Computer Science. If you get any leads in either department let me know.
