So I found out today that in Florida you can file for unemployment online. Cool I think, I'll get on that. Arg. The thing is SO picky. I can't remeber every zip code for a place from a year ago. Sheesh. So after extensive tracking down of addresses and phone nubmers and such I finished the form. To be greeted by this friendly synopsis:

BY LAW, THE FIRST WEEK OF YOUR CLAIM IS A NON-PAYABLE WAITING WEEK: The next week ending on Saturday 5/11/2002 is your first payable week.

It normally takes 3 to 4 weeks after filing your new claim to get your first check

Wow thanks. I'll be sure to tell my landlord they need to just wait a little bit. Fuckin' a. Some birthday this is going to be.
