Situation: dire

I need work now. I can no longer stay on unemployment and then go to school. The government says that I was overpaid $3000 in unemployment and they want it back by June 8. They say that I lied to them about my earnings in my last job, when I definitely reported everything. If I can't prove this (somehow my documentation is eluding me, but it's here somewhere), then I am up shit's creek without a paddle.

Therefore, if you know of anyone that needs any kind of paid employee, I will consider all offers. I can forward a CV at a moment's notice. Just let me know. There are certain of you to whom I particularly would like to speak...

What's particularly shitty is that I should be doing backflips. In fact, I was doing backflips last week. I received my letter of admission from HEC and I will be starting school in August. Whether it is full or part time remains to be seen. If it's full time, then I am eligible for loans for tuition, books, living expenses and the laptop computer I need. I was even browsing COOP HEC for their Virtuose models, but they don't have them in yet. I celebrated with Rose, Suj and his photog friend, Roxane.

I would also like to thank you for the support you showed Rose. Because of readers like you (well, a reader like you), she has entered a volunteer program taht will enable her to get into the training program of her choice in August. We both found out about our good fortune last Wednesday.

However, if things do not work out in the next few months, none of this will happen. And it has to, going insane, and I mean insane, would be welcome if that all that happened. I hate to ask for your help like this, but better here than out on the street.
