Stupid government

vicemageSo I filed for unemployment benefits. Got a letter saying, "Okay, you're good, file your claim between this day and this day." So I did. And it said, "Okay, you're good, you'll get a check in a couple of days."
So today I get a letter from them. Not a check, a letter that says, "Hey, we're not giving you money after all, but file again between this day and this day."
Excuse me? I've got less than a dollar left. And one savings bond I've been clinging to, that's not worth a whole lot. Now I have to go cash out that and try to live on that for a while. When my parents get back from Florida they'll give me another loan, but I seriously need a job...
I've given up on the goddamned hotel. "Yeah, come in for an interview at this time." "Oh, you had an interview? Well, we'll find someone to do it." "Okay, we'll call you at this time." "Oh, sorry we didn't call you, can you come in for another interview?" "Okay, we did have an interview scheduled for you with Mr A but we're going to have Mr B do a quick one instead." "All right, we'll call you tomorrow." "Oh, sorry about that, we'll call you in a few hours." Yeah, fuck you too. At this point, if they did call me back, I'd be somewhat inclined to say, "Sorry, I'm busy, can I call you back at 4?"
Put in an application at the Hardware store... followed up on that today. They're still going through apps and scheduling interviews. Apparently they got a lot in, but hopefully me calling and expressing further interest will help... one of my former coworkers is there and said it's a pretty nice place to work, so I'd like to be able to work there, but...
I might take a little of my bond and use it to buy some materials for cosplay props at the hardware store. I'm hoping that maybe if I put down a little money and time onto making some things like a Wavemaster staff, Ed's spear, or other things like that using methods most other people don't actually have available to them (mainly for lack of facility or experience) that perhaps I could get a little money coming in on the side at least until I find something.
I'm bored as hell.
