I'm a school crossing guard. In three years, I've missed 3 days of scheduled work (once for myself, twice, with notice, to accompany my wife for surgery). Period. I cannot, however, work on the various days that school is not in session.

NC has denied unemployment benefits because "You did not earn wages totaling at least six times the average weekly insured wage in at least two quarters of the base period."

Grrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck you, Governor Cooper. Fuck you very much.

Between winter vacay, spring break, snow days and misc bullshit "teacher days" (including time off to go to Raleigh to protest), showing up every day isn't enough to collect on the insurance I paid in.

Fuck you hard.

If I can't possibly qualify to collect, then I should not have to PAY THE PREMIUM.
