I actually failed to post my rezoom and blew off my live unemployment interview back in 2003, and they never did anything except to continue sending me checks.. I still can't believe it, especially after reading about your ordeal. That sucks.Tully Moxnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10438180293942743843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14010211.post-1149175146533312292006-06-01T08:19:00.000-07:002006-06-01T08:19:00.000-07:00"No it is reh-zoom-ay, dumbass!""Did you just call..."No it is reh-zoom-ay, dumbass!"<BR/><BR/>"Did you just call me a dumbass?"<BR/><BR/>"I'm sorry, I meant doo maas"StBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363699522256218332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14010211.post-1149108690847892852006-05-31T13:51:00.000-07:002006-05-31T13:51:00.000-07:00Hey Change.

Saw you finished 12th in the bracelet race last night, though I didn't watch you playing at all because I was on my way to a 21st place finish in the 17k on ftp at the same time. But congrats on that -- I know you don't win anything for 12th, but that is quite an accomplishment nonetheless. I have done several of the bracelet races but I think my best overall finish is 35th or so.<BR/><BR/>Nice try with the appeal. You definitely got sucked out on by walking in and finding the old stern lady as your judge. Hopefully you can get that money back sooner or later. Even with your MTT domination of late, $1800 is nothing to sneeze at.Hammer Player a.k.a Hoyazohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031535857121915911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14010211.post-1149101390428682482006-05-31T11:49:00.000-07:002006-05-31T11:49:00.000-07:00Your Honor,I do not believe I am above the law. I ...Your Honor,<BR/><BR/>I do not believe I am above the law. I believe that we have the best legal system on Earth and that laws are extremely important for our society to function correctly. No one is above the law.<BR/><BR/>That being said, the implementation of laws creates bureaucracy. While laws attempt to uphold ideals, bureaucracy tends to stand in their way. That is why we have judges. Judges can intepret the law as humans free from the encumbrances of bureaucracy. There is a reason this appeals process is held in front of a judge instead of a clerk at the unemployment office.<BR/><BR/>The law required me to pay an unemployment insurance tax. This tax is used to support people when they lose their job unexpectedly so that they do not go homeless or starve until they can find another job. I lost my job unexpectedly, and if I do not receive the pay I missed due to a bureaucratic oversight I will not be able to pay my rent. This law was intended to help me. I do not think that a small oversight, that has since been corrected, should stand in the way of this law's purpose being carried out.<BR/><BR/>Neither you nor I are above the law, but you are above bureaucracy. Please help me.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05660201775008638301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14010211.post-1149100693712185022006-05-31T11:38:00.000-07:002006-05-31T11:38:00.000-07:00The conversation with the paperwork dork who can't...The conversation with the paperwork dork who can't pronounce resume has to be a scene in a flick.John G.
