A short(ish) complaint.

I am so tired of unemployment. I am still enjoying doing nothing, but I really hate the lack of income. And the unemployment system is overburdened, so much so that I've been trying to talk to a person for a week and all I get are recorded voices telling me that their volume is so high that they cannot help me and I should hang up and call later. Then when I finally get through this afternoon, I have to sit through 4 minutes of recording to find out that the system is having problems and I should hang up and call later. And to top it all, my cell phone can't ever get through to the help line. So I have to go to my parents' house to use their phone. I'm just going to have to go to one of the offices to actually talk to someone.

I miss having the internet at home. And being able to be online all day at my former job. Every time I hang out at the parents I just goof off, I can't seem to get anything productive done. I got really discouraged this afternoon. Most of it is annoyance at myself and my lack of motivation.

Oh well. Tomorrow is another day. I'll go to the unemployment office and hopefully take care of the problem. Then I can turn my attention to other things.

I don't really complain to anyone about this. I really don't like to talk about it. But I'm tired of having this worry taking over my thoughts.

Whatever. I still know that everything will work out. Somehow. Even if I have to move in with my parents (which no one wants to see happen), I'll be able to get along. But I'm going to have to work harder to do whatever I can to get things smoother. So, I will.

And next time I'll have something more cheerful to say.
