Cozy

Jay brought me a space heater.

I haven't been turning my heat up...in my drafty, drafty apartment. So most days, I've been too cold to do anything except curl up under a blanket or get the hell out. The last gas bill was $268. I only pay half of that, but still. Insane for an apartment.

But now I can put the space heater in any room I'm in, and be warm enough to get things done.

It's the little things.

I'm eating an avocado with a spoon

And it's delicious.

The temp agency today was interesting...they prefer their temps to call in every week.

Also, I have been approved for unemployment, so I have to go back online and file today. Sweet.

You have GOT to be kidding me

So, I have to talk to a rep in an office to file for my unemployment. The best times to call are between 430 and 6 PM. If they're too busy to take your call, you are automatically disconnected.

I've been hung up on every 5 minutes since 415.

Dammit

Well, I did NOT get to file today like I was supposed to. The phone message went from "we're busy" to "we're closed." I will call very early tomorrow morning. And then I will just go to this Newark office. Because apparently the state of New Jersey wants to punish me for admitting to seeking further education on my unemployment filing by going through some extra hoops. Maybe, maybe this office in Newark will actually HELP me get financial aid for grad school. But I doubt it. They had better be able to get me my benefits even though my claim was supposed to be made TODAY.
