[FUNNY STORY]
I am terminally stupid when it comes to things like unemployment, because I have never had any experience with it.
When I got my preparing-for-retirement package from HR, there was a paper in it urging me to apply for unemployment and giving me instructions on how to do that. Seriously! There was. My first thought was, "Whaa...?"
I asked why it was there??
and said I was pretty sure I couldn't qualify for unemployment since I was retiring, and what gives? Could I possibly qualify? HR told me that legally they could not answer that for me and that's why the paper was in there. But they also said that for some unknown reason they have to give that to everyone separating from the agency, for CYA reasons I suppose. Then confidentially the HR lady (who was my friend), shook her head no, and whispered that retirees didn't usually get unemployment, although legally they couldn't tell me anything more...

OK, I thought some of you might get a laugh out of this.
