Yup on the first. It is one of the questions they ask each week you are claiming for it. BF was on unemployment not that long ago, and now they do it over the phone. This was totally new to me (Lol, and less than a year ago I learned of cameras over intersections--like..for catching running red lights. In some things I am very behind the curve. ) But I digress (really?! ) When I had to collect while working for a seasonal job (about 3 months in winter off), it was on paper. It not only was one of the questions, but you had to fill in 3 jobs every week that you went in to apply for (except one year when the economy was so bad they knew it was a waste of time. ) It was always a waste of time for me, as I was always going back in spring (I had a 2 year degree in it, so...) and the places would always say, "um, why would I hire you if you're going back to work in x time?" With the subtext, "why are you wasting my time?" Ugh.. They should have had some kind of exemption for this (as surely there were quite a few others!), but didn't. I don't *think* they do that part anymore, but LaraLynn can enlighten.

On the second? Oooooh, so can relate! And am definitely a list maker (just ask BF, he thinks it's so funny). The number of times I've said, "Well, I got a lot done, but (almost) nothing on my list!" ("If I could have a nickel for every time... ) It's kind of funny, but also kind of frustrating. (My psych people have thought I probably have ADD, but recently determined probably not, though I did score very high on one of the attributes.) LaraLynn. Maybe you can make a list at the end of the day, listing the things you did do and then cross them off(!) Ah, the crossing off. Very satisfying. Might make you feel better about it(?).
