Logical Disconnections: workforce

I am still trying to figure out the path for this blog. Obviously life intruded on the FXB transformation blog. I did transform, and even missing about 1/3 of the classes I stand up straighter, feel much healthier, and am noticeably thinner. I'll take my 10 week test on Thursday and see what my numbered results are. I'll let you know.
If somehow you missed my dads obit, look here. I have an extended draft of his decline that I might post here if I ever get back to working on it. We are also planning a party for him in the summer, the preperations for which might end up here.
In the meantime I have 2 thoughts for this site: 1) Situations have made me unemployed, this might be a good place to chronicle my time out of the workforces, what some of my choices are, and what I encounter on the path to prosperity. And 2) Even before I found new-found-time, I wanted to read more, and more better. one way to do that is to try and review the books here. I got one book in my pocket for to talk about later in the week.

In my first installment of somebody give me a job I'll love I email my sister Elizabeth about my experience applying for unemployment benefits:

So I signed up for unemployment benefits (This is interesting...for employers it is "unemployment insurance" for workers it is "unemployment benefits" ... maybe I am being touchy, however...) and was told I had no social security payments on record, so wasn't eligible for UB's. I was like, "I got my w-2 right here, I paid SS."
They thell me to come into the Ames office, ("Don't show up at 4:00 this is going to take a while" was his response to my asking when they close) with my W-2's. The guy who helped me (after about a 10 min wait) was was in his late 50's, not unfriendly but not welcoming either. It is not like I was opening a bank account or conducting business. But wasn't I? Anyway after I explained my situation he told me, "Oh, you worked for a non-profit. Then you aren't eligible for unemployment."
Aside from being, I think, incorrect, this is non-sense. Why is one "job" insured and not another? and I was like, I paid SS. They gave me a W-2. Also, nowhere on the website does it say anything like this. Why are they wasting my valuable time?
He's like, "Well, if they gave you a W-2, then we can appeal this."
So he spend about 10 min filling out a one page pdf, which he is apparently going to MAIL down to desmoines.
On the website it says you are eligible if your employer pays insurance. It doesn't say who doesn't have to pay (like non-profits and churches and charities...etc) it does give you a legal type PDF that mentions depending on size (a very small size) that a non-profit can pay insurance OR opt to pay whatever benefits are necessary. This, I guess, is the option my N-P is taking. BUT how come at least 3 unemployment workers didn't know this? How come my claim was delayed for at least 2 weeks?
I'm not angry or even frustrated, I'm just asking.

Gotta FXB, brother. Peace.

Otherwise my visit to the site was as you would expect. kind of dismal, polite, but not loaded with respect. you are there for a reason after all.

I'm supposed to be working on my thesis. so I'm gonna head on out!
