Unemployment benefits - RIP

Well, its official. My unemployment benefits have expired. RIP - I'll miss your weekly visits. In its place, I have the opportunity to see what I can do without - to reduce monthly bills further, to sell whatever I can, and to harass temp agencies as much as possible.

I am now earning less than when I was working at K-Mart while a junior in high school. People are beginning to give us food and to make hints about ditch digging as a possible employment move (sorry - they won't hire me - I'm overqualified).

Time to call 211 and see what my options are. Maybe it will be the first time I've had to use Food stamps.
