I'm will not be able to attend the get together, sorry. I was really looking forward to it too. I have been on EI for the last year, and then two weeks go I had a interview for a job I really wanted. I lost that chance because I did not have certain skills (skills they did NOT list in the original job advert).
So I have now applied for a student loan and gone back to school to get those skills. As such I no longer have EI and I will be very poor. Our only luxury is the computer because it is a necessity for communication with familes. I cannot afford to spend money for a meal at a top notch retsaurant. So I'm afraid I will have to decline the invitation. Sorry. I will be at school for the next 13 months.
