Stop in for a cup of coffee
Dave, its obvious you have some skills. Dont sell yourself short.
Life is too short to stress the little stuff. Your job isnt on top of the list, i hope. Family and health run well above a job on my list.
Way back when, the goal was to get just enough time in to qualify for unemployment.last time was 26 years ago.
Had i played the game,when i left my last job i could have enrolled in a self-employment program.
I vowed after the last time i had collected unemployment insurance,they gave me a huge hassle,and pretty much destroyed me financially i decided that i would never go through that again.
Now, self employed i dont have to make contributions to them. They did contact me,suggesting i did,and it is optional. I did politely instruct them when,where and how to get off...
