So after applying in May and being hired in September, after 10 weeks I lost my job as a meeting planner, subcontractor to the gov't, because the primary contractor took back all the hours from the sub. 5 of us were hired at the same time and 2 of us (me and one other) got the axe yday.
SO annoyed! I just filed for unemployment benefits online today because the phone number they listed for Maryland was OVERLOADED. Booooo.
I haven't posted for a while... Too bad I have to post something bad! I'm so lucky BF and I fixed the TV over the weekend...! The TV wouldn't turn on, so BF researched the problem over the Internet, and we were able to buy 2 capacitors for $1.29 each, pop the set over, and replace the fried ones. Looks like a lot of flat screens are having this problem after a year or so (just as the warranty is expired), but we were able to fix it together over a snowy Saturday for less than four dollars!! Lucky for me-- I am watching a lot of tv, trying to find stories without people fired from their jobs!!
{{{HUGS}}} to all, and extra {{{{{{HUUGS}}}}}} to my old friends I haven't seen in a while!!!
