I wasn't outright fired so they covered their butts.

Before all this happened I was working 4 shifts a week, 10 hrs/shift.

There was only 4 drivers to start with. She brought in her son and trained him and he quit his other job to take this one. I was told I might be able to get 1 shift a week to start and maybe up 3 come Sept.

E.I. should be no problem. Have you been collecting your 15 wks of E.I. for sickness?

I'm just now finding out what my options are. The past month has been a blur and now I have a huge hole to dig out of.

It's going to be really ugly for awhile......

Sorry meg, that blows. I may be able to get you some free legal advice if you have any specific questions.

Time to move to Texas, if you can stand the heat!

Stand the heat? Main reason I was in Latin America for a few years. Can't get enough of the heat.

Been jumping through so many hoops with different agencies that I'm probably a prime candidate for Cirque du Soleil.

As a past queen of bureaucracy for 18 yrs, you have my deepest sympathy MM. Take advantage of everything they have to offer. Get some of those tax dollars back mate.

The last time I applied for EI it was known as UI. That was back in 1981 when Chrysler went tits up the first time. I've had to collect Workman's Comp twice in my life.

I just don't know what is available as I've always been a reliable hard worker and not had to use the system. It is very frustrating to say the least.......

Hey Megman, How are you doing? Hopefully things are getting better for you and those big hunky muscles are coming back in your leg.

Meg, are you O.K.?

Slowly healing but I don't think presently that I will ever heal 100%....
