Scaredy,
I hope you are right about getting unemployment. I filed with them on Friday and called them yesterday to make sure they got it since it was online. She said yes but had a few ?'s. First she asked about school. I explained that I was taking 1 night class and she wanted to know what night, time class started, ended, dates started and end. I just wanted to say geez lady, you want my bra size too? I did not dare tell her that down the road I would be seeing a t one night a week. I am not looking for any evening jobs. Then she said I would get a letter in the mail telling me when they are going to be calling me to "interview" me because I got fired. She said it would be 4 weeks before I would start getting anything but I did get the letter yesterday telling me how much I was going to make a week. I collected more 4 years ago.
The only reason I would be worried is over some incident that I am not even sure I did. My supervisor told me about it and that she had proof but never would show it to me like she would not show me any proof of other things I do not think happened. What happened was that I did the switchboard on the Friday before the 4th. My normal hours are 7:30-2:45 on Fri. and the office hours are 8-3:15 which is when the switchboard is open. Well she claims that I closed the switchboard down early. She said someone commented to her that they were up there at 2:50 and it was shut down. She said the key pad computer shows I entered the actual office at 2:31 and later it was 2:41. She does not even know what time it was. Well IF I did this, and I have no memory of leaving early, the only reason I can come up with is that I looked at the clock and saw it was 2:45, my normal leaving time and closed up and left. IF I did do this, I was totally spaced out because I would never even think of doing something like this, let alone do it. I told her that she leaves at 3:30 and I at 4:00 the rest of the week. What is preventing me from leaving right after she leaves? Noone else in our dept. is there so noone would ever know except the receptionist and I told my supervisor she could check with her. So, why would I leave early when doing the switchboard when there is a chance of being caught when I never did it any other time when I could get away with it.? That would be the only reason I could think of for not getting unemployment. A friend told me last night that when unemployment gets the letter from my co. they will probably just laugh. I have emailed my supervisor and ask for a copy of my personal file. I believe I am entitled to it. She said she sent the request to her supervisor who is in another office in another state. I hope I get it.
Are your drs. making you take off? I am thinking that they cant let you go for that. What if you were a cancer patient who had to miss work for their illness? I dont know how old you are or if you are married with kids but I think the time the little kids of today get to be of working age, depression is going to be a much more understood disease than it is today. Have you started looking for another job? Could it be your job that is causing the depression? I dont know what it is you do but I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts that you dont lose your job.
