Today, I was fired from my job for "lack of work". What that means is that my boss hired his good-for-nothing lazy son, who then got too big of a mortgage, and he had to let me go to pay him a higher salary. FML

You will be fine OP. Unemployment pays retroactive to the last time you were paid so they will pay you for the weeks your employer did not. Hope you have a place to stay. Good luck. Kudos to you for a real FML.
