He actually might go back to this job -- like I said, it's a long story, but another guy who is now gone screwed up a long list of customer deals, leaving S. with nothing to work on. I don't know why they use separate sales people for the two functions, but the one guy was supposed to sign up the churches to do the directories, and then S. would sell ads in the directories. And because of other guy there's no churches currently signed up for him to work.
They have been paying him his salary for almost a month while he hangs out at home with me, trying to fix it, but for now this is a better deal for us. And if they line up more churches in this area, he'll go back.
as far as we can tell he'll be getting the same benefit he was receiving from the layoff with the paper before he got this job, because he didn't use all of it. Or something.
No, that sounds right. You apply for unemployment when you lose your job, they calculate your benefits based on your previous salary and (I think) how long you worked, and they tell you the total amount that you're eligible (initially) for, though the amount is doled out weekly/bi-weekly/monthly.
At least, that's how Ohio does it. So if a person goes back to work but then loses his job quickly, as long as he's not at-fault, then the remainder of that total amount of unemployment $$ should still be available. (Again, in Ohio.)
That's the way he understands it, Steph. So, fingers crossed.
I'm writing more for work, though, which is extra $$, so that's a good thing. I just don't have time to do anything else.
Hey, question for Canada-educated folks -- how do you pay for college there? Say, if you were going to University of Ottowa?
I wouldn't wait in line for an iPhone OR a cronut.
Not sure what you mean, Amy. But in my day we went to the bursars office with a check and stood in line.
10 more invoices done. my pace is increasing (I also hit a patch of invoices that did not need cross-references).
I don't want to wait in line for much, but I do still have NYC-remnant inclinations toward getting places earlier than is necessary.

Sorry, I meant, is it subsidized at all for Canadian citizens?
Or if you meant how do you come up with the money, a few things. Generally costs are much cheaper to begin wiht, especially if you are from w/in the province. (Actually, in Ontario you just had to be Canadian. At the time anyway, Quebec was the only that limited to students from in province.
There are various aid programs similar to the states. In Ontario there was OSAP, Ontario Student Aid Program. Better known as Ontario Stereo Acquisition Program. US students can get the same federal loans they would get to go to uni in the States.
