Blah, blah, blah ...

I'm laid off again for another two weeks. Oh, this should be amusing.

*

I ordered three books last week from Amazon when I got my tax return, a couple of gay romances and American Wife. If they all come today -- which it looks like they will -- I'm going to laugh. Or cry, because I'm not allowed to read any of them until I finish GPW, damn it.

*wibbles*

I would love to spend the entire day on the couch because I still don't feel so hot, but I'm out of Cheetos, soda, and cat food, so I don't really have a choice.

... Jesus, I sound like a worthless slug. *sigh*

Well, luckily we can file for the days we're on layoff, so we can get unemployment for it. The way our shifts are set up, we get four weeks of 36-hour checks and four weeks of 48-hour checks. My new weekly payout for unemployment is ninety bucks more than it is for my 36-hour weeks and only twenty bucks less than my 48-hour checks. Quite frankly, I might as well stay home at this point.

That's not even taking into consideration that it turns out we're still getting our pay-for-performance bonuses for the last half of last year, so there's a really good chance I'll get an extra check from work just for being me. ;)
