I've played the part of deadbeat dad mostly for the first 4 years of my son's life for various reasons.  Partially, I was scared of being a father.  I didn't believe in children out of wedlock.

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So, I finally had my interview to determine if I was eligible to receive unemployment.&amp;nbsp; On the line was the Unemployment Commission person, and a woman who worked in the office for my former employer.&amp;nbsp; I was shocked at first by the fact that an office worker handled my case.&amp;nbsp; I worked in a warehouse and there were supervisors there who knew me and about my work, but they used someone who knew nothing about me.&amp;nbsp; The second shocker was even worse however.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In the past year my company had went back to a location it had ...

&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I am Hilton Young and I am unemployed.&amp;nbsp; I worked a dead end job for 3 years, after which they began to tighten their rules to make up for the tough economy.&amp;nbsp; As a result, of this and the fact that the 'veterans' weren't actually told the rules had changed, I began making mistakes that I didn't know I was making.&amp;nbsp; Eventually my supervisors began to 'ride' me and it wasn't out of the ordinary to have my work day start out with 3 or 4 supervisors coming over to tell me to 'stop fuckin up', or let me ...
