Well I still haven’t gotten to start anything. That’s frustrating, but there is a good reason for it. New York State has a program called “Self Employment Assistance” where if they think you will not be able to get a job in your career path, they will allow you to start a business while drawing on unemployment insurance. When I first saw the plan, I was excited. Then I saw the requirements and thought I’d never get in. Then they sent me a letter saying that I qualified! Now I’m formally applying and seeing if I can get in.

The catch is, I can’t do anything until I’m formally accepted. I can’t buy any equipment. I can’t start anything to get ready. So I have to wait.

If I don’t get accepted then this is all a waste of time while I pull unemployment. Ah well that’s government for you. . .
