[quote:Anonymous Coward 77627231:MV80MDcxODY2XzczODIxOTgyXzk5MUJBRTM=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 32202923:MV80MDcxODY2XzczODIwMjY1X0JEOUY4QTRB] [quote:Eggcellently Deplorable:MV80MDcxODY2XzczODE5NzA4X0E5MTdBNkMw] [quote:Anonymous Coward 2494046:MV80MDcxODY2XzczODEyMTk1X0Q1RTg5QTg3] Many retirement homes and hospitals will pay for CNA training if you contract to work for them for a year after you finish school. Plus there are many 1 year courses that will keep you out of those loser minimum wage jobs. Unemployment offices will know of tons of training programs and vocational rehab. You have lots of options for bettering your employment situation. There’s always Walmart and McDonald’s not the greatest but still better than no job. Good luck! [/quote] AC, please keep in mind that Miggy is pushing 60 years old. And that many jobs which are suitable for 30 - 40 year old people become more and more physically challenging as a person gets older. Could YOU be 60 and work at McDonalds? Survive a 48-hour week on your feet at a factory? Or a hospital-type job which involves picking up and turning patients over in their beds? Not chastising, perhaps you didn't realize Miggy's age. Or you're very young and have lots of strength and stamina and have not been smacked around by Life yet. For a reality check: Today, right now, at this very moment, you have the MOST energy, the MOST stamina, the MOST intellectual acumen, the MOST friends and relatives who are willing/able to help you, and the MOST chance of opportunity knocking that you will have for the rest of your LIFE. And from this moment on, all of those "mosts" will begin to shrink, imperceptibly at first but more noticeably as you get older. Not complaining, or trying to be a downer, that's just how it is. :hf: [/quote] I worked at a local factory until my mid 50’s as a cabinet maker, lots of heavy lifting 8/10/12 hour shifts, helped at my husbands auto shop and we farm too! I still help at his shop , changing tires, oil, etc and I still work beside my husband out in the field. I am not a huge woman, 5’5” 135, nor am I masculine in anyway shape or form. I just did what I had to do to keep my family and myself with food on the table. The jobs are there if you read Miggy’s posts clear back to 2010 this is an ongoing theme in her life. She has no trouble getting jobs she just can’t seem to keep them. I realize addiction is hard to overcome but [b]at almost 60 it’s time she stop this nonsense.[/b] [/quote] You sound a little harsh to me. I’ve been sick for the last four years – really sick and not likely to get better. Fortunately for me I have a lot of flexibility with my job. As long as I’m able to earn what I need to I can work whatever hours work for me. But if I had a 9-to-5 job or had to work a shift with set hours I’d have been fired now. The OP has had health issues that cost her her last job. My heart goes out to her because there but for the grace of God go I. [/quote]

I was forced to resign from a full-time job I've had the past 3 years last month after an illness (pneumonia) and excessive absenteeism due to the illness and a family member's death.
I am currently waiting for my unemployment claim to be approved while I continue job hunting every day.
Today is the last day for me to pay rent plus late charges or I am going to be evicted. I've been living paycheck to paycheck these past 3 year so I have no money saved up for such an event as this.
Does anyone know if the judges who handle these cases are sympathetic to the length of time it takes for unemployment to be approved?
I don't plan on sneaking out and not paying- in fact, I don't have anywhere to go if I did.
I've never been in this position before and was wondering if anyone has any answers?
Prayers of encouragement would be very much appreciated.
Miggy
PS. If I had anything of value I would sell it but I own very little belongings and they're not really worth anything.
