Meth may ruin lives quicker, but I think heroin is the winner when it comes to ending lives. At least from the one person I knew that went from being introduced to it to ODing within three months.

“Never a frown”…

She has filed an appeal with unemployment. There will be a hearing in a couple of weeks.

The reason she filed an appeal?

Paraphrased

I gave my two weeks notice to find different employment and was terminated right away. I should have been able to work, so now I am out two weeks pay.

Also, the employer should have loaned me money so I could bring my husband with on the company trip-it was a slap in the face that she didn’t. I was not allowed to go because she would not finance my husband.

Any warnings?

Employer told me to stop using credit card for personal use, and I did so except for a few things.

Gah, she has no idea how bad she sounds.

But…I still have to deal with this, pay for it, get frustrated about it.

**fisha** , I don’t think that her appeal will work, so you won’t have to pay for it. The time and frustration are yours to keep.

At my last job, I was the one who dealt with claims and appeals. It was a pain, but I was always the one who had the correct paperwork.

I swear to little green apples, I will eat my hat if that appeal isn’t laughed out the door of the EDD office. The exact quotes are going to wind up on a website somewhere posted by an EDD employee. It _has_ to.

Bumping this to ask for an epilogue. What became of your employee, **fisha**?

I had a long post of updates, but the hamsters ate it. If I get a chance I will try to write it again, but you know how a picture says a thousand words?

I have a god awful mug shot of her that the ex texted me, and am very tempted to post it. It says very eloquently what has transpired. Kind of worried about outing her. Even though it is public info.

Hmm, I think I will put up a gallery of mugshots, and perhaps she’ll be one of them, perhaps not.

I really don’'t want to see a pic – I want more of fisha’s engaging prose. That’s why I keep clicking on this thread…

But…

but…

Did her eloquently phrased appeal win over a hard hearted EDD against her evil employer who would not loan her money or let her use company money for personal expenses? Inquiring minds want to know!

Swamped at work-I’ll try to figure out a way to make pics anonymous-perhaps I’ll make a little storyboard for your amusement.

Next day or two.

As a tidbit, I know she was fired from the job I had suggested her for-with one of my subs-who needed help desperately in his office.

She was fired for hanging out on his dock in a bikini and repeatedly breaking Iphones, among other things.

I’m glad she was able to replace her shredded swimwear.
