I'm sorry.  What a bummer to be laid off.  I hope you find something soon.
Good luck.

Hi all.  Well, first for those who have not heard, I was laid off on Friday.
So I have begun the process of filing for unemployment and looking for a
job.  If Lighthouse could guarantee me a job in 8 weeks, I wouldn't have to
look, I could just get my unemployment.  But I know they can't guarantee
anything at this point.  Sigh.  So I have had the wonderful joy of trying to
deal with ESAID (Employment Service Division) and the "wonderful" and I
write that in quotes, work source Washington web site.  I am also working
with Kim Daublind from DSB, and will be going with her to Career Path
sometime next week, I think.  I am using my Apex and iPhone.  The iPhone is
working better for this search, and I'm using a bluetooth keyboard.  I don't
think I'm going to get my three required things done by next week.  Sigh.
If any of you have used the work source site with an iPhone or Apex please
let me know any tricks you might have used.

Today I received 2 calls from ESAID.  I thought I was asking a pretty simple
question.  I asked if I went to the work source office by myself if I would
be able to get assistance or if they had a computer with JAWS.  The first
person passed me off to some poor schmuck in Olympia.  He was definitely
freaked out.  He didn't know what to tell me.  I spoke with Maria later on,
and she told me about her horror with these fine folks here in Spokane.
I'll be updating all of you as time goes by.  I could have interviewed for a
job where I'd work from home, but I really don't want to work from home.
Maybe I should have gone for it.  
(Grin).  Anyway, I politely told Kim D no, because I didn't want to work
from home.  She understood that.

Well, everybody have a good night, and if it's raining where you 
are like it is here, try and stay dry and warm.    Peace,    
Debby
