I work in an unemployment office...which sucks because people dont ACTUALLY get checks from us. We just assist people with the "job search" portion requirement of receiving unemployment. Which means, as soon as she said word one about her check, I knew she was gonna go away without shit.

As far as ARKAN is concerned, I only SAID she looked like she was coming down. She was lucid. Those shakes can EASILY come from malnutrition and the like.

SOrry to say, but in this day and age a will and a desire and an ability to work do NOT garuantee employment. Every day I see a Bachelored fellow come through my office, and there isn't shit he's doing wrong, these are just the breaks. I am not for enabling a nation to sit on its ass, I am however a little upset that this girl will probably go back on the street and do what she HAS to do to survive. All because we have to follow rules.

Ahhhh - a lil clarification. The reason she cant get money is because presently her case is being investigated (which can take DAYS and weeks) and until then she has shit to do but wait. Oh, well back track her pay, but by then -

Well who knows.

All I can say is for those who think things are really THAT black and white, pray you never EVER find yourself in that position.
