Last Friday, I tried to sign up for unemployment, but I still haven't received my health insurance card, so I'll have to go back in a week or so and try again. I've also signed up with a number of short term employment agencies, in hopes of earning some money while I hunt for a real job. People seem somewhat taken aback when I present them with my university degree - they find it hard to believe that I'd actually be willing to mop floors or work an assembly line. But at the same time, they don't have anything else to offer me. I'm not even qualified for the job usually reserved for the lowest of the low - call centers. They all want people who speak Swiss German. But luckily, that doesn't bother me - I'd have to be really desperate to want to work in a call center.
Meanwhile, it is now only one week left before Mikes exams start. It is going to be a couple of trying weeks, I'm afraid. He is already so tired and stressed out, I have a feeling it won't take long until he starts having trouble sleeping. And that would be bad news for his performance on the exams. And the worst part for me is that there isn't really much I can do to help.
