Well, then
Jul. 24th, 2009 07:23 pmI made myself have a Good Day.
Also. The good news is that my severance payment will be two paychecks, one in the middle of August and one at the beginning of September. Four weeks of pay. So, really, it is as if they will pay me and keep me on the insurance plan for another month after they've let me go, because I signed for severance. However, I cannot receive unemployment benefits until my severance pay has been paid to me. Which is understandable. If I am still unemployed in September, I will see if I can still file for unemployment.
At least money will come in. Also, Adam's paychecks have been progressively bigger, due to the extreme amount of hours he has put in. He and I should be fine at least for a while.
I went to the staffing agency in DC that I'd spoken to last year. InfoCurrent is a hard-working agency. Ray, my old boss at my other firm (the firm that dissolved), knew almost everyone at Infocurrent, and through him most of InfoCurrent now knows me. When I met with Yosias, I realized that I would need a social security card or a birth certificate. I had lost the social security card some time ago. But I knew I had the birth certificate somewhere. And with that, I could apply for a replacement security card.
After I left DC, I wandered downtown Rockville for a while. I wound up walking from the Rockville Metro Station to the Social Security office, unfortunately the long way around. I picked up a couple of applications to take home, since, well, I was already there. Since Charlotte and Billy lived within walking distance, I went there, with a self-sympathy acai smoothie from Robeks. After Charlotte drove me home, I emptied the two drawers in Adam's smaller dresser, since that was where most paperwork went. I eventually found the white envelope containing my birth certificate - I had written "Joanna's Birth Certificate" on the envelope. The envelope looked old and crumpled. I took a fresh one, wrote on it, put the document in it, and promised myself that I would store the certificate in a place I would actually remember, where it would not get buried.
On Monday, I will go back to InfoCurrent, to finish my application. Then back to the social security office, to wait (a few hours maybe) in line. I will then sign up with other temp agencies, and send my resume out again, etcetera.
I do not know what I will do on Tuesday.
I do not think it has really hit me yet. It will probably hit at the end of next week, when I realize that I have not gone to work in several days.
Well, then.
On BBC America, Torchwood will air Day Five of "Children of Earth." I am still upset about the end of Day Four. This will be interesting.
How was your day? Were you happy?
