EDD

I'm supposed to wait for my call from the Unemployment Agency today.

Because, apparently, teachers don't usually apply for unemployment.

But, since I've been told I wasn't going to be rehired, my union says I am eligible for it.

Which is a good thing, since I really, really need the money to pay my mortgage and living expenses and to give me time to find another job.

But I still stress out about it....getting a job, filing correctly, etc.,.

Because government workers can be really obtuse and, for any random reason, sometimes things become unnecessarily difficult.

So, even though this is totally routine, it stresses me out.

Silly, huh?
