Two and a half weeks ago, I was "furloughed" from the hospital where I work due to low census (i.e., not enough patients in beds).
Two days later, I was offered a part-time position in the medical records office at our main facility. But after 8 days, I was furloughed due to low census at that place.
So I filed for unemployment, which happened to be the first day that Alaska was taking applications for the coronavirus stimulus thingy. Automatic approval, with no requirement to look for another position ... which is a good thing, since there aren't any other positions to be found, anyway.
It's a good thing to know that there will be money coming in. But I'd rather be working, and wish the whole experience had been postponed indefinitely.
Bu happy Friday, anyway. Let not your hearts be troubled: our God's on His throne, and Jesus is coming soon!

Amen to that. My son's been filing for the unemployment thing; but hasn't seen any money yet. But he did get that government stimulus thing, so he's doing okay.
Yesterday I looked out my kitchen window. I have a very thin curtain on it. Usually the sun is either bright or round. But yesterday it was a cross shape. My phone didn't see it that well; but I posted a picture in my blog anyway.
I felt blessed. :-)
We are blessed, Linda. And that will continue. :)
I hate to bring this up, and I hope it is not true for your workplace, but the Dempanic killed a number of hospitals.
They have closed or will close because they were emptied out, for apparently no good reason, unless you count government takeover of the healthcare system a good thing.
Which is why Covid deaths are being "over-attributed" to bring in money associated with Covid.
Agreed, Ed, but I don't believe it applies to this situation. It's a behavioral health hospital, and we treat primarily active duty, first responders and veterans for PTSD, substance abuse, and provide detox. Since the military is our largest source of patients, and they've kept all their personnel on base during the emergency, our patient stream has more-or-less dried up in the interim. They'll be back ... eventually.
