At least they're trying to help you out as much as they can. I got laid off on Friday the 13th. What makes me mad are several things. About a month prior my hours were cut back to only 28hrs./wk. 2 weeks before the lay off, the boss went on holidays to Mexico and I had full time hours for the time. The boss comes back on Wed. and asks me if I mind going back to part time hours. (How do you answer a question like that?)He was trying to find anything and everything to complain about when he got back. He said sales were starting off good for the month. (he was away) On Friday morning, out of the blue, he says he has to lay me off effective immediatately. I stayed working for a half a day to finish some things. The boss then, for the first time in over 4 months, tells me I did a really good job. I went down to unemployment. I'm 21 hours short of qualifying! If I added up all the times I never took coffee breaks, I'd have way more than 21 hours. When my boss laid me off, he said he'd been thinking about it for 2 weeks! Just as I suspected, I worked my tail off, while he was in Mexico, and as soon as he gets back, I'm laid off. Here's the real kicker, I'm entitled to a week of severance pay because I didn't get any notice. This would give me enough hours for EI benefits. I went to employment standards with info from their website that the appeal court has ruled temporary lay offs must be in writing and specify they are temporary and the effective date. The bozos there accepted the record of employment as the written notice! I have to wait 59 days and if I'm not called back, then they enforce the one week severance pay. Another thing that gets me is that the EI office and employment standards are totally seperate and don't work together because one is federal and one is provincial. How stupid is that? Just because EI benefits are federal shouldn't mean that local offices don't follow the local employment standards code. It's typical Gov't. I guess. SNAFU! Dave

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
