I filled out my EDD paperwork online and was contacted by someone in Orange County at 7:10 a.m. who told me they are now working weekends and holidays to keep up with the huge numbers of layoffs. (Take that, economists!)
"It seems like the only one who's hiring is us!" she said. Oh, humor ... I miss thee.
Anyway, because they're overburdened, they basically asked me one question and said, "OK, here's your benefits."
Easy-peasy. So now I will have a week of no money and then $450 a week while I look for a job. In my field? Not likely, so I'm broadening my horizons, like participating in marketing/scientific studies on Craigslist.org. Like this one:
Seeking Females 21-65 for PAID STUDY on Grocery Shopping (Berkeley) ($85)
Are you age 50-59? Shingles Prevention Study (santa rosa) (<$300)
Egg Donors Needed at UCSF---Compensation $7000
There does seem to be a definite jump in pay for the more invasive/creepy stuff.
