Today was officially the first day of the shutdown. Somehow, without entirely meaning it, I've gone from a third shift sleep schedule to a first shift schedule in a matter of 2 days. I had originally intended on staying up every night until 2 or 3, then getting up around 9 or 10, but instead I went to bed at 11 and got up this morning at 7am. I'm a little screwed up at the moment. If I'm to be getting up at this time every day, it's certainly going to make for some long ones. Today I ran errands, getting groceries and picking up a few things at Target. Tomorrow I have to do something I've never done my entire life, file for unemployment.
As I'm sure most of you are aware, Chrysler, in its infinite wisdom, shut our plant down for two weeks. All the full time employees will collect 95% of their normal pay, but since I'm not yet full time, I'm S.O.L. I can still collect standard unemployment, but I have a waiting week that needs to be fulfilled before I can collect. There may be a bit of a hitch in that, but I'll save that for tomorrow.
