Once upon a time I put a lot of effort into applying for unemployment. I
found out that I was not eligible, but they never did tell me why. Now I
have a farm and unemployment is impossible. Instead of writing to techwr-l
I should be outside sheeding the feep. Farming + tech writing comes out to
between 170 and 190 hours per week, or so it seems.
