Why I can not get Unemployment

I was laid off from my last job. I got unemployment and I was getting a good amount of money every week. Things were going great! I was still looking for a job though. I wanted to work with children and Storks Nest which is a Child Care was hiring for a Teacher’s Assistant job. I went for the interview and I was hired on the spot. The director of the day care seemed a little fishy, but it was a job. On my first day, I was a little shocked that I was put with toddlers. I had never worked with toddlers – only kindergartners. In the interview, I was under the impression that I was going to be working with the kindergartners. Oh well, I was already there and I wanted to meet all of the children. They were NOTHING like the children that I previously worked with. I made it through the first day though and I thought to myself “This might be an OK job”. The next day, I showed up for work and it was different. I was being left alone with the children when I specifically told them that I wasn’t comfortable right now being alone with them! I had never changed a diaper in my life. The head teacher showed me once on a little girl and then left me with a bunch of children to change their diapers. I was getting yelled at because I was so confused and kept forgetting to put gloves on or use baby wipes. I was never taught and I was so scared for the children. There was one girl that had a poopy diaper and I had NO idea how to change her. I had her legs up in the air asking for help and no one was helping me. Finally someone came over to help. I went to lunch and called Jeff and said “I can’t do it. This job is just NOT for me.” I started crying and told him that I want to quit. He said that’s fine and he doesn’t want me upset over a job. I went back to Stork’s Nest after my lunch break was over and told the director that I wasn’t coming back. She was SOOO mad. I got home and realized that I quit and I am not going to get my unemployment back. I called unemployment right away and told them that I was at Stork’s Nest for a day and a half and if I could get my unemployment back. She scheduled a phone interview for me and when they called, I told her everything that happened. I got a letter by mail about a week later saying that I was NOT approved. I cried and cried. I have terrible anxiety and at the time I was seeing a therapist who told me to appeal the decision. My anxiety was so bad that I couldn’t even go on the computer and click on “Appeal” Finally, my therapist talked me into it and I appealed it. It only took a few days till I got the letter to go see an arbitrator and tell my side of the story. I went with Jeff because he had surgery on his foot and I told him that it was a late appeal because I was in the hospital with Jeff. He asked how long I was with him and I said 3 days. I appealed after about 2 weeks. Needless to say, I didn’t get the unemployment because of the late appeal. I should have appealed right away.
