Un-Freakin'-Believable

Yup, chalk up my helping words one more time. I just helped someone else get a job. This is a little frustrating today, mostly because of the joy I had at the unemployment office this afternoon. So let's separate this out...

Unemployment office-Epic FAIL. Let's just say that for some reason unknown to me, I haven't received my full 'payment'. While this might not matter to most, I have bills to pay. So I went to the office this afternoon, and while the woman I spoke with was very nice and extremely apologetic, it still doesn't put money in my bank account. She couldn't figure it out, and I have to have a specialist call me next week. I'm not even that upset, as things happen, but I'd like some resolution other than shrugged shoulders-I couldn't get away with that crap when I was 10, and I immediately thought of that when she pulled that with me. No biggie, hopefully this gets sorted out in the next few days.

Now, I helped someone else get a job today, with a glowing reference. And if you ever need one, ask me, I'll do the same for you. You have to love it when the person on the other end of the line says, 'Anything else?'...because my reply was "Yes, hire him". And I kid you not, he called me 10 minutes later to tell me thanks, because they offered him the job. Done and Done.

Successful Friday, I guess. Onward and upward, I guess.
