[QUOTE="Star*, post: 528830, member: 4964"] Buddy - I hadn't thought of that. I'll call them tomorrow - I was going to call just to see if they needed someone to pretrip teach - I'd enjoy that a lot. I'm good at it too. The unemployment place is RIDICULOUS. (say it like Professor Lupine in the harry potter film) Oh my WORD.....that place is not right. The slush fund analogy is wrong - I will get a deposit. They withold one week. Since they withheld 8 weeks and the hearing was on the 18th - THAT was my 8th week (convenient huh?) The advantage is instead of starting to get paid at 12 weeks unemployment - They start paying me at 8 weeks unemployment. 4 weeks earlier than I thought. But it won't be ready until the middle of may. LOL - either way I still don't have any money. The only way I get a total lump sum payment is if I win the next hearing for all the rest of the other 8 weeks they didn't originally award me - If I win that? THEN I'll get a lump sum deposit. Fingers crossed. If I don't get that - then I file in some other court - and yes I'll do that too. The psychiatric evaluation was weird.
