Reply #76: Two years and two months. I have been applying but if I get any answer at all...

it's an email saying "We are sorry, there were so many applicants we couldn't get to all of them." I had heard even when I was employed that the administrative assistant field was drying up, so it's not entirely a surprise. I have applied for other jobs I'm qualified for but nothing yet. Monday I receive what is supposed to be my very last tier 4 UI check, unless Congress enacts an extension beyond what is already in place.

I'm looking at it as an incentive to go for my dream. My college degree was in theater, but I've always worked regular day jobs to have a safe income and so couldn't pursue my acting. But now, since I can't seem to get a regular day job, why not? I'm working on getting voice over work. My goal is to record audio books, and to do voice over work in general.

Back to the subject of unemployment insurance: Congress has got to provide either more extensions, or jobs for all of us. They cannot let us fall. That simply cannot happen. With Wall Street stockpiling $1.1 trillion dollars and just sitting on it, I know something can be done.
