Yeah, this morning something cool happened. I was told that I am getting my unemployment benefits, even after my former employed neglected to give a lot of info about the reason that I was fired. I explained it to them and they granted my benefits this morning.

I have never cried at a movie until this. It was fantastic.

Go rent it at a Redbox. Its only a dollar.

Its based on a true story that happened in Japan in the 20's. Hachiko's owner, a professor, takes a train to and from work every day. Every day when he came home, the dog would be waiting for him in front of the train station. The professor eventually dies from a stroke and the dog still goes back to the train station every day... for nine years.

They really did a good job on the movie and the ending was great.

Plus it was filmed a few towns over from me. :P

unemployment is a joke... my buddy goes online and fills out a form every few weeks or something, gets his check, not a single followup or further questions/evidence necessary than checking a box on a website.

f***ing hate this country

(not that you shouldnt get it, it just pisses me off how easily the govt pisses away money without having any idea who they're actually giving it to and for what)

ARr Beeee

Nice! I too got unexpected joy in money form today. They paid me for one week out of my EUC a couple of hours ago.

I find that hard to believe!

And yes. I will watch it!

I used to have this exact same opinion. But with the economy in shambles, I know a hell of a lot more people that got screwed somehow that now depend on it. Now, I get pissed that there are people leeching off the system who could very well ruin it for those who truly deserve it. There's a limit to how much the gov't can investigate. It'd be nice if people were just more honest.

afternoon gentlemen!

Your buddy is not doing all he is supposed to then. I looked over CTs unemp requirements, and they are similar to ours. Here, you have to submit a minimum of 2 resumes a week (and keep records), enroll in the state job program and re-apply every 26 weeks to the unemployment office.

The state interviews can be tough.

I don't watch too many movies so ehh.

Nah he lives in PA. Not CT. Although it is good to hear that some states take it more seriously.

IMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Bored.

Similar in Indiana. Our HR department gets applications often from people that are looking to fulfill this requirement (many not actually looking for a job).

[TurboSauce]

Screw this i'm gonna lurk

[Dattebayo]

Well if they do ask to see your records, they are smart enough to know the difference between a real application and a filler. They will make you owe back if they find too many of these.

[AppleBonker]

What is with all the tards in the world lately posting crap on the net that is destined to get them in trouble?

John/Gerry, did you guys see that d-bag's thread?

[Dattebayo]

What D-bag? Link?

???That thread?

who what?

[AppleBonker]

Sorry, should've posted that. He deleted most of his posts now (on this and the other forums). Basic story was that he let a chick borrow his car, and she wrecked it (but apparently doesn't remember how?). He found out that her insurance would have to cover it, but she had none. So he reported the car stolen and when they didn't find any forced entry, he claimed he left the keys in the car. Here's the link. He used to have pics up until I eyed the plate number off of them

[AppleBonker]

That thread?

Yup. Seriously, I cannot support someone trying to scam insurance. But if you're going to try, at least be smart enough not to post the whole story all over the web. I swear I actually get dumber reading what some people post...

[RobPaulson]

LOL wow, dumbass

i honestly dont hang in the AC forums anymore... too much awesomeness floating around that I cant afford

[King Ranzo]

God those Altima guys have terrible grammar.

God those Altima guys have terrible grammar.

Seriously. Sometimes I think I'm communicating with some 12 year old girls on their phones. I don't mind any of the members in there, but sometimes it pains me trying to read their posts.

[MellowZ32]

[AppleBonker]

Seriously. I hate people who try to defraud insurance. It's h0mos like that keeping my rates sky high. I've had cars vandalized and stolen, and that is what my insurance should go towards. Not offsetting losses incurred from this tool shed.

[Dattebayo]

ZOMG pizza is here!

in other news:I still love Top Gear!!!
