| thanks all for your experiences, i also appreciate it. i've been unemployed for 3 months, and may have to apply for welfare. ONE of the items they mention on it is you have to attend vocational rehab. hearing the negatives has made me wonder if it's really worth it. but it does bring up a question: ... |

are you trying to get fired? if you go out of your way to p!ss off your coworkers and management, that's a sure path to the unemployment line.
