Back in the unemployment line, Day 8....

So I've taken a week off from most everything, as I went through some paper records and futzed with the computers.

I filed my unemployment claim the day after I was laid off. (To recap: The project I was working on was running over time and over budget, as software projects tend to do. As a result, the client had to make some budget cuts. Part of those cuts included letting go of two contractors. C'est la vie.) Now I wait for the nameless faces in Columbus to decide whether or not to give me unemployment compensation.

Yesterday, 6 months' worth of receipts from 1999 went into the shredder. They were still printing entire credit card numbers on receipts back then. I'm glad they don't do that any more. As for the receipts printed on thermal paper, it appears that the printing has faded on a lot of them.

( Meanwhile, I bought a new toy. )
