Well, it's been a little over one week of unemployment, and I must say, this is doing wonders for my mental health right now. I feel sooooo much better, being gone from a toxic work environment, I am far less stressed out, I am happier, and I feel free.

They really did me a HUGE favor. So I thank God that I was laid off.

And I received my unemployment acceptance within just one week! That's unheard of. Usually it takes 2-3 weeks to process your application. So, I got my benefits.

Now I just need the gov't to pass the law to extend additional unemployment benefits. That will really help us right now. That's the only thing that has me a bit on edge right now -- is whether they will pass another extended and enhanced benefit for the unemployed.
