I'm in an 8 hour unemployment class

[melindafelinda]

I feel like dying. The poor old dude next to me keeps asking me questions as if I'm paying attention and not playing on my phone the whole time.

All I have to entertain myself is calling out complicated answers when the guy asks for examples so I can watch him try to spell things.

Also I just picked off all of my dark nail polish and it's sitting in a little pile in front of me. My life is in shambles.

[melindafelinda]

He also does not believe me when I answer his question and asks the "teacher" anyway. I just furiously whispered "I TOLD YOU SO" at him like we are in the 4th grade.

I've made bad life choices.

Ohgawd I had to take one of those classes.

It was PAINFUL.

I think they are intentionally trying to cock block my cell service. I keep having to refresh.

Also, I don't think any of these people are getting hired.

Oh also, poor old dude thought they were catering lunch.

maybe you can engage someone in a nostalgic game of SOS?

Is this a Canadian game? Like Battleship only you go "oh, you sunk my single Canadian ship".

Also I clearly know nothing about the Canadian Navy (if it exists.). So if it's awesome I take it back.

Eight hours???

I had to do a two hour class before collecting unemployment. I was so sad for a lot of people there who had already been collecting for awhile. I'm super lucky that I only collected one payment before getting my new job.

Are you at a place in Bloomington?

No, good old Scott County. I have to do like three more of these. I need a new job ASAP.

OMG you have to do more than one?

I had to take an all-day class once (in MD) and it was horrid. I was the youngest person by 30 years, easily, and everyone kept staring at me.

idk if it's a canadian thing.  we rarely have our own things.   we always steal things from the US.  it's sort of like tic tac toe.  but longer...

I have no idea what that is. Americans can only handle a 3x3.

I have never seen that SOS game thing.

How much longer do you have to be there? Godspeed, my friend.

I'm not the youngest. No one is looking at me. They are all talking and I'm being a snob as usual and speaking to no one. Except Bob next to me because he keeps forcing it on me.

lol.  Sorry, dude.  Do you play any of the "with friends" games or Scrabble?  I'd be happy to help you pass the time with a game!

He just wants to get in  your pants. Sorry

OMG. This sounds like a miserable way to spend the day.

Are you at least near some great happy hour spots for when you're done?

THREE MORE?  OMG. 

Too bad you're not in Bloomington.  I'd come rescue you on Official Business.

Omg. I'm sorry. I didn't have to take any classes when I got unemployment, but maybe that's because I only got it for 3 weeks. Shakopee is soul sucking.
