    Hello world,

    It is time for a weekly recap about my life right now. Job hunting is not fun, in particular
    when we have a pandemic and 20% are unemployed right now. I know benefits will likely carry over until mid October for myself, but I would rather be employed.
    Strawberry scented government checks and video games can only last you for a short
    time.

    I donated to an online radio station in Australia and it was the second time they
    butchered my location. I live in Ontario, California United States, not Ontario, Canada
    eh. I guess I need to mail them some memorabilia from my city.

    My former employer is likely going to pay the money for back pay from business expenses that I initiated in January. Only problem she will likely endure is she will likely
    need to pay the wait time penalty for 10 other co-workers (~1,000) and around 15-20
    thousand dollars for mobile phone and service expenses for all her other co-workers
    from Feb 24 2017 to Feb 24 2020. I was sad that the pledge that she would try to bring
    us back in March was not going to happen and I felt I had to use the recourse of the
    state labor regulations.

    I found 7 places to apply to this week, and I hope I get an interview next week.
    Unemployment blows especially when you are on week 13. The bonus is not going to be
    permanent. I just want to fix up my car, get some clothes for job interviews and pay off
    my Note 9. And I'll be in a secure place.
