been unemployed since October...got a promotion in december of 08 and didn't get my pay increase until may 09. Every month after my job was threatened. I got let go so my accounts could go to a major ass kisser that was probably sucking the boss off. That little faggot fuck! But whatever, haven't missed the place one fucking bit

My situation sucks cause I let it happen. I developed a serious panic disorder while working at the tmobile call center and it eventually got so bad that my doctor told me I had to quit. He asked me if I wanted to go on disability because he said it may take a while before I can be functional again. Up until this point I haven't been without working for more than a 3 day weekend. I thought I'd be able to find a job no problem and just signed up for unemployment instead. Now my unemployment is out and I may be facing a felony with that stupid weed thing and fucking everyone asks if you're a felon. Fuck I hope I don't get charged, cause if I do my life is over.

That shit sucks!!
You'll probably be ok if you plead with the prosecutor.
Find a less stressful job or just do it slower to reduce the stress.

I was unemployed from Jan-June of last year and fucking loved it. I was in a restaurant with an egotistical asshole for a chef/owner, he worked my ass all through the busy as hell holiday season, then the first day I go to work after New Year's, he says I'm not doing enough for the company even though I had been writing the menu for the last year. I laid into him for a while about how it's fine if he tells me they're not making money and can't afford to keep me on the hours I've been getting and shit, but for him to try and feed me that bullshit when he was taking home $500 worth of food and wine every week for himself was a load of shit. I made enough on unemployment to cover rent and bills, my girlfriend was still working and got free wine with her work, so booze was covered, and I did odd catering jobs and handyman work under the table for extra cash. The biggest thing was learning what I could live without, got rid of cable, started walking all over town to save money on gas, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The chef at the restaurant got run out of the business a few months ago and is now feeding his family with food stamps.

Yeah, no shit. Hopefully one at a video store again where I can smoke weed and relax if I start having any panic attacks. The shit thing about me finding a less stressful job is with how much I was making at tmobile, I'm making more with unemployment than if I had a minimum wage job.

That's all fine and well, but this fuck was stealing whole beef tenderloins, $100 bottles of wine, whatever he wanted, now he's stuck getting whatever food stamps will get him. I don't really know much about how food stamps work, but I would imagine he's going through a nice little bit of culture shock right now with the transition.
