frustrated....

because having just completed my online unemployment claim, I still have to call the claims office. That is rough, because in the past it has been hard to get through to them---you spend a long time on the phone waiting, or being re-sent to other places on the line, that don't relate. Hopefully this time it will be better, but for the last two years, I have not had to use the claim line---really don't understand why I have to do it this time. Well, let's hope for the best.
  All this colors how I feel now---yesterday the BAN meeting---a lot of people who are important at BAN did not attend. We went over some issues---talked about the success of the march, and made some plans for other activities. Afterwards, my stomach was full, but still went to the Greek diner nearby and had an ice coffee while I watched the end of the Yankee game (not very interesting). Then went home, but was full of energy.
  Lots of ideas in my head---played out a sketch of a one act play, but doubt that I will ever write it. Can't seem to harness some of the energy that I feel.
  If my unemployment is stalled, it will not be terrible, since there is not a lot coming in, but hate the thought of dealing with the machine that directs you to the telephone prompts.
 One session this afternoon, after that not sure---money is tight, so that will be a consideration. Have not seen the "South fourth" people since the bar closed---Wow! actually close to two months ago. Maybe will check out another bar in Williamsburg tonight to see if any of them are hanging out there. (Might be East River).
That is all for now---will report tomorrow, and hopefully will have completed my unemployment duties so that the money coming in can begin.
