Unemployment

I've worked more than thirty years in my life. I got in an argument with a manager the other day and found myself out of a job. First time in a lifetime I got fired incredible!!!! So I go to file for unemployment. So far I've waited three weeks it's still pending. I think they're going to fight it so I don't get nothing. It's pretty frustrating. For the first time in my life not knowing where I'm going.
