Oh... well then... perhaps I shouldn’t post before noon on Thursdays.

Still... that’s 26 fewer weeks (half a year) but still over a year to be unemployed.

Again, I’ve been unemployed for 15 weeks, and I’m miserable. Any true American man or woman who’s unemployed for more than a few months is going to be as miserable and bored as me, I’d imagine. Unless, of course, you’re like 60 and want to spend more time with the kids/grandkids playing parcheesi or fishing.

My apologies to card players and fishermen for pigeonholing you.

Have been laid off three times in life:
1970 ... took UI for 12 weeks, ended with me going to college.
1993 ... had a mortgage, kids in college, etc. Took UI for 26 weeks, plus two under the table jobs - made more than my ex-job. Paid off all bills.
2007 ... ready to retire and didn't give a hoot. Took 99 weeks of UI gladly.
All things happen for a reason.
