well, I did say I wanted a vacation . . .
Apr. 2nd, 2020 01:02 pm So, I get to find out how to apply for unemployment benefits in Washington state.
I've never been laid off before - I've still got my health insurance, and my employee card (so I can use my discount if I want to do some online shopping, I guess). I'd be less stressed about it if I was sure I'd actually be called back to work by the 30th, like they're saying they want to do. (Hell, I was just thinking I wanted some actual time off, instead of the half shift work arounds I've been getting the last week or two) But who knows what's happening in a month, honestly!
If they do decide not to call me back in - whether corporate decides to close my store, or the shut-down lingers longer and and longer -- then I'll get the pleasure of job hunting in a time when NO ONE IS HIRING (except grocery stores and Home Depot, apparently. And I'm not picking up a job that would put my husband's health at risk - he's got asthma, so he's higher risk than I am right now. Don't want to bring back a bug that would do real damage to him).
I can say that if I don't go back to the bookstore, that's it for retail jobs for me. I have no idea what else I can find, but it won't be fucking retail, for sure.
yay, for such certainty in uncertain times. . .
