Finally, some resolution, at least in terms of my identity. It seems I am who I thought I was and EDD is agreeing with me. It doesn't mean they have figured out if I am getting unemployment benefits but at least they have acknowledged that I exist in my name and SSN. That's a start.
I talked to them on Friday, I will talk to them tomorrow, on Monday. In the meantime I am trying to put these jobs that keep biting my ankles on the back burner. Or, to confuse metaphors even more, I am trying to make the job offers less like offers and more like small plate items. I want some of them but I don't want the big bites they want me to take. I want a nibbling job. Three days a week with three months off for the winter. It's a pipe dream (and I ain't sucking no pipe here, let's be clear on that) that might happen or might not. I don't care. Something will come about.
There are places I want to go to in December and January and a job would get in the way of that. But money is necessary. Without a retirement package and without any sort of net, I can't afford NOT to work. But emotionally, psychologically and physically, I can't afford to work full time for much longer. I have been working straight on for more than 50 years. I am tired of it.
At least the State of California how recognizes me as a tax paying person. Let's see where they go with that.
