So Proud

I was having a pretty good Thursday morning, until hub called me. We've been expecting his unemployment to kick in for about a month - he got the letter saying (we thought) he'd been approved a month ago and asking for our banking information.

After 5 days of trying to get a human on the phone at the unemployment office, he finally did. What they said basically came out as "Since you quit your job you aren't approved - let us kno where you've applied for work and maybe we'll review your case and give you money." Never mind that several folks who transferred haven't had any issue since they qualiy under the "trailing spouse" provision. He was So upset, and I totally lost it. At work. As in cried off all my make-up and proved to anyone within earshot like I could curse better than any sailor or reality tv star. Yeah. One of my finer moments.

He called back a couple more times and got a better explanation of what he needs to do and it does sound like he will start getting benefits, but probably not back to the point he beagn applying for jobs.

I have pizza and beer for dinner last night.

Oh, and My NC license plates have expired but to get new ones in Florida I have to get the bank i have the car loan with to transfer the title to Florida before they'll give me plates. Between vehicle tax and registration, total cost around $400. I have NO IDEA how long that will take, but I'm driving with an expired plate until then.

Does it ever get easier???
