this post has saved the job of another mingler

never know maybe going for another

i did apply for fmla but work had me fill out certain dates that cleared out a lot of occurrences.but as i got more sick work told me to fill out another one.doc said he cant fill out an fmla form every time somebody gets sick.

i called to check on my appeal its still gonna be another 8-9 weeks so im not getting any money for unemployment so im ****ed both ways lol.

if you would like to know why i cant get financial aide you can send me a private message im not comfortable saying why in open forum no offense to anybody just embarrassed

I'm still employed but no check since my M/C wreck the first week of July - at least the insurance is covering most of it.

Still, it sucks. Unemployment is not bad in Arkansas. In your field, there are plenty of opportunities. Best of luck.
