[QUOTE]Originally posted by cajun: [QB] Well, turns out I'll probably get benefits anyway. Kind of a roundabout process, and the company names look wierd for where I made the money I earned over the past 2 years, but the MN Dpt. of Economic Security contacted Illinois, who sent me a letter to fill out with my Illinois earnings, which I did and sent back, which they then forwarded back to the MNDOEC, who calculated my benefits and sent the numbers to me today. Seems a decent amount, as I think Trany or someone mentioned, it's just shy of 60% of my wages or so. Good for just over 15 weeks, as there's a max you can get in a year, which is your "base period" divided by 3. So, I don't get a full year of benefits 'cause I made too much. Oh well, it'll pay rent and bills for nearly 4 months at least, if I don't spend much on other stuff. (never do, anyway... TV's still only 13"...) Not sure I like being on "welfare", but it certainly reduces some of the economic pressure on me and lets me concentrate better on finding a new job. That and they'll be asking regularly about how my job search goes. Have to file resumes every week or so to keep getting the benefits, so it's not like I can just lay there and live off it or anything. Hmm. Maybe I'll take some classes or something... "Investing in yourself" is always a good idea. Not sure if I want to take ASE classes or art classes or thermodynamics and fluid mechanics and other suchlike engineering classes, though... Always been a tossup there. Mechanic, Mechanical Sculptor or Mechanical Engineer. All three I guess.
