i just got fired from my job today...
what happened?
Did you work there long enough to qualify for Ei/UI while you shop around?
no.
i would still look into it, i've never been through the process, but pretty sure some states are as long as you were employed (doesn't have to all be at the job you were fired at) for a certain portion of two quarters, you can receive unemployment. i'm not 100% sure about the technicalities but it wouldn't hurt to look
not sure if all towns/cities do it, but some also provide food assistance for unemployed people - probably not the best stuff, but free never hurts when you're struggling
edit: paged!

Ryan's gone at some wedding for a few days, so i have the house to myself
