Nice.
Having never mastered the art of lock picking myself, I find that having the keys to a lock is the easiest way to get into it. :)

It is good. Like I said I didn't really relish breaking into it which if I couldn't and had to bolt cutters could have damaged it.

Finally done. :)
I don't even feel very run down, considering I did 9 days compared to my regular 6. I'm just sick of going there is all. 
I think it's only a 3 day weekend for me though, although I'm scheduled for 5 more off right now. I'll get another 5 or 6 hours of overtime for the last week I work there if I show up 2 days early, and my manager is alright with that. Shame I couldn't just power through and work another straight 9 days, but they'd have her ass for that one, and even though I really couldn't give two shits what they'd have to say to me after the fact I don't want her to get in trouble for it.
The stupid thing about it all is because the way the weeks get cut off, I'm going to have a 5 1/2 hour check the following pay period, which is going to postpone the dumb severance by another two weeks, and likely postpone the unemployment benefits another week after that comes in.
Oh well. It's not like I need it or anything.
And my manager put all of my PTO on that last 5 1/2 hour check and approved it today, so I don't have to wait until whenever the hell the company would get around to paying that out too.
lol. Even the vendor from Frito Lay that comes in most mornings couldn't believe they were letting me go.
I don't expect a call back while this new Robot is running the show, but there's always a chance the old store manager returns after her 3 months stress leave. I let everyone know all she needs to do is give me a call.
Some people, including some of the management, think that the new Robot will change his mind and decides he wants me back once we go to days and it's apparent how much work isn't getting done while I'm gone. I tend to doubt that he will given the lack of respect I showed him in our meeting.
If he actually does want me back and he has somebody else call me about it, I'm going to tell them that if he wants me he has to call me himself.
Looking forward to getting back to working on my house.
Now only if this gorram rain would stop for one single gorram day...

No rain here Jack. Just beautiful sunshine. 
Which is nice to see in June.
*Fingers crossed* about no wildfires this summer or less than a couple of summers ago.

Bad, bad allergy attack after walking around the cosmetic department of the local Walmart. Sneezing, nose running, eyes itchy. Last most of the day and into the evening. Ugh! All because I wanted 1 nail file and a set of nail scissors. Ain't doing that again for a while.
Out and about in the sunshine.

You should file for Unemployment Insurance benefits right away after your last hour.
The benefits should be calculated for the week that you work, not whenever you get paid. So for your 5 1/2 hours week, you should still get almost your full benefits for that week. If there were no delays, that would mean the Monday after your 5 1/2 hours.
There will likely be a delay of several weeks, so that is another reason to file right away. The benefits pile up, then get released to you once they check out your claim.
Even if you only got 28 hours, you would likely get payments for being underemployed.

Sure. I'm filing the day after.
I'm just not exactly clear on when benefits would start since the language is murky. There's a one week waiting period, whatever that means. They also say that you wait until after severance is paid out, and in Indiana the amount of your severance payout is subtracted from the total benefit pool you qualify for at your rate of pay.
Not a huge deal for somebody like me who has only worked there one year, but somebody working there for 20 years that has 40 weeks of severance checks coming their way might as well not even apply for unemployment because they won't get any unemployment benefits at all.
The last good job I had did the service to their employees of paying out your severance in one lump sum to avoid this. My current company pays out severance on a bi-weekly basis as if you were still an employee making a regular hourly wage until it runs out.
In a lot of states now, this means that you wouldn't get your first unemployment check until those severance checks ended. In Indiana, however, the method of payout doesn't even matter because if you worked somewhere long enough that your severance payout would be more than your unemployment pool than you don't even get any unemployment payouts ever.
I'm assuming that I'm going to get that last paycheck for 5 1/2 hours plus my PTO, then two weeks later I'm going to get my severance payout. Only then will I begin getting unemployment. The only question is, does that 1 week "waiting period" take place right after I apply or does it begin after I got my severance check?
Either way, even when I file the day after I'm unemployed, I don't expect to get the first unemployment check until 4 or possibly 5 weeks afterward.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
