Well, Uncle Sam just did me again! I just found out tonite, that my previous employer did not have to carry unemployment insurance, due to the fact that she had less than 10 employees. As a general rule, I don't ask potential employers if they carry unemployment insurance when they hire me. A mistake I won't ever be making again, economy or not. The real kicker is, that I was counting on that money to help finance me in my own business venture. Since I won't be getting unemployment, I AM SCREWED. The start up license fees are just under $200 bucks, but at this point, it might as well be more. Everthing I needed to start working, was ready to go, all I had left to do, was register the ficticious name and get the occupational license!
I can't go to the bank as an unemployed venture capitalist, they'd laugh me out the door, well that and the fact that I'm already carrying a loan for my son's college education. (Thank God for deferred payment). Sorry if I sound a little bitchy ya'll, here or on any of my other posts tonite. But this was a major set back, at a time when those, seem to be par for the course. I'm beginning to wonder, just what the hell I did in a previous life, to reap all this unfortunate karma. If anyone knows how I can break this bad mo-jo, hit me up. I got nothing to lose by listening...

Well, now I feel foolish. All that ranting, and there are others out here with even bigger problems. Sometimes God smacks me, and he did! First, our friend in need, then, when I least expected it, my friends at church came thru for me with the start up monies. WOW! See, just when it's darkest, comes the dawn! Faith is a beautiful thing!!! Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Ride Free...
