700 other people stood in line with me today for a job
taking a test to work for the state. I want it for the benefits, and job security. Ironically working as a Unemployment Claims Specialist. They only had enough exams for 500, and had to turn away the others. Was there any media there to cover this? :wtf: Of course not! Heard some pukes bashing anti-war protestors, and they think Iraq is more important than economic security. :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: Your in line with 700 people for a job, but I didn't have the heart today to open their eyes. I feel they loaned their brain out at birth. I mentioned earlier in line highest record unemployment in 20 yrs & record bankruptcies, and record foreclosures. Wish me luck nonetheless.

4. No clue at all
but if I had to guess, it's not enough. Probably 25-50 statewide, as they were testing people statewide. I'm hoping for the best, and have some other things I'm pursuing. Benefits soon running out on this end. Thanks for all the kind words from everyone.
