Ok, we can fill in the details later, but omnis -- it's a nine-month process, getting one of them. Gotta be patient here.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Can someone answer a couple questions for me? I've done some Googling but I'm almost more confused now than before I started. My oldest niece is still stuck in the soul-sucking job, and it seems her bosses are trying to make her quit. She's stubbornly hanging on, feeling they should fire her if they want her gone. (The problem is in essence a long-standing personality conflict between her and one of her supervisors, who's carrying a grudge from a previous project they worked on together, because the boss then liked Kim best. From what I've seen, this kindergarten shit actually seems to be the truth.) Anyway, my sister thinks she should quit before she's fired, because she's afraid being fired will leave a black mark on Kim's record, somewhere. I say they can't legally tell any future potential employers that she was fired. (I still think it's better to quit than be fired, though.) So, questions: does being fired potentially cause a problem with being hired in the future? And: Regarding unemployment benefits and health insurance, does it make any difference if she's fired or quits? [If it matters, she works for the University of Virginia, a public school (which is an awesome school and should not be judged by the actions of this particular group of unpleasant humans.)]

If 10,000 people plug their cable boxes into power strips that are turned off when not watching TV, we’ll save about $300,000 per year.Um. How is the DVR gonna record the shows when I'm not home? Yeah, that's not going to happen in this household. Sorry.

I'm pretty sure quitting loses you unemployment. Don't know about Cobra. That's why really awful employers try to torture workers into quitting. If you can tough it out better to be fired. And in terms of references. There are ways to give bad references without giving bad references. But they can still do that if you quit.

Most or all states you don't get benefits if you quit.
And there is no shame in being fired in this economy. Seriously, "they had to let staff go" will nevereverever be questioned unless she's a heartsurgeon or somesuch.

You get cobra if you quit. Being fired sometimes comes with severance, but it's not guaranteed. I personally think that it's better to quit, because even if they can't legally tell anyone that you were fired, there are ways to communicate that.

So, if she gets fired, she could still get unemployment? I'm surprised.

As I recall, you don't get unemployment if you quit, only if you're fired. But, since she has a new job, it doesn't matter, because employment only lasts until you get a new job.
