Injury? Meet Insult!

You know what's nice about being laid off over the holidays? At least you have time to spend over the holidays.

Unless, that is, the fuckers at the unemployment office send you a letter for a MANDATORY two-hour meeting in New York City on the day one of your families is actually celebrating Christmas.

There is no fucking upside.

Unemployed, and you still have to go to meetings.
Like a little peek at Hell, ain't it?

As my friend the Bastard says: Could any Hell be more Real or more Now?

Wow, sorry, Rob.

Ah, it might not be that bad. I'll try to change the date tomorrow when I can call the office.

It's just frustrating -- I've seen people have to miss holidays because they had to work, and that sucks, but sometimes things need to be done. But to have to miss it because I *don't* have work--for a meeting that seems completely arbitrary--is an unnecessary kick in the face.
