After calling the unemployment office every half hour since yesterday afternoon, I finally got through around 10:45am today. I found out that the reason my benefits have been cut off is that a new Staffing Coordinator at the place where I contracted filed a protest to the unemployment office, saying I’d never worked there.

I obtained her name from the unemployment office, and asked my boyfriend to look her up in the staff directory (since he still works there). Got her info, called her up, politely explained who I was and the situation.

She was very nice, and said that the paperwork was supposed to go through the staffing solutions partner, NOT through the company itself, and so that’s why she protested the company itself paying out unemployment benefits.
I informed her that the unemployment award letter to me does in fact state the staffing solutions partner as my last employer.
She was confused by this, so hunted down a name and number for that partner for me to contact.

Called staffing solutions partner, politely explained who I was and the situation. Was told they’d never received unemployment paperwork on me, and that they’d research it right away and call me back. Left them my number.

Meanwhile, my face has broken out because of all this stress. They’ve got until April 5th to get their asses figured out, or else I get officially and outwardly angry.

I’d like to have just run in, guns blazing, and ask questions later, but you know…that’s never really worked well for me in the past, so I’m trying a new angle.

I ended up job hunting in my panic yesterday, which worsened the panic and depression. Today I’m still depressed and still job searching.

The neighbors upstairs aren’t helping with all the loud noise and chair scraping on bare floors. Oh and today they’re tossing buckets of water over their balcony, splattering their next door neighbor, as well as my balcony and my neighbor’s balcony, and the two apartments below at ground level. This is typical disrespect for these assholes. I’ve already called the front office to complain yet again. Found out they’re finally moving out. Hoofuckingrah! It’s about damned time, with all the complaints from various neighbors filed against those fuckwits.
