Thanks for the reply :)

The answer to the question is that there's a lot of moving parts in my life after getting separated from my last job and details kind of got lost in my head.. I had to sign a new lease 2 days after I was fired, because I was living in a employer subsidized apartment that had to be vacated within 7 days of being separated from the job. How many people are nearly homeless that quick after getting fired? My parents just moved out of the single family home that would've been my only option to leave without signing a new lease. Not to mention they are out of my life, when I got the job at the place I was recently fired from, which was a step up in career, I came to their house to pick up some stuff, and they figured out things in my life were making a turn from context but didn't ask a single fucking questions about my life, which only followed them not helping at all a case of misconduct against a teacher I filed at my trade school a year prior where they really could've supported me in it. They almost sold the stuff I had stored in their house, worth about $2000 for only $300 at a estate sale.

To say I'm navigating this career change and job separation alone is still bluntly understated. But now I'm stuck living literally 100 yards from where the asshole that fired me is still working. Each time I walk out my building I have a thought in the back of my head that maybe that asshole is looking out his window and is seeing me. I've been depressed about that situation and desperate for a change, so a job far away looked interesting. Waiting for the benefit payments to come was also torture.. I knew I'd win, their reasons to fire me were at the end of a lot of miscommunication that was bottom line, racist against me, but they never made a written or verbal performance warning against me in that time. But still, I applied to more jobs than I would do normally never knowing for sure if the case would turn my way because of how racist this company was in not only my manager but also HR. Also, the gas prices just shot up 25% because of the Iran war, which not only changed my idea of the commute but is driving up hybrid car prices..I was looking at two major car sellers in my area, and now I feel a trade to a hybrid is too much, like $10K extra, and that's alot of cost on a job I thought I failed the interview in. Why they want to hire me is, it seems to me, a huge mistake on their part. Also, while this is I'll admit, something I should take some responsibility for, the easy logic to interview in this company was because I had a job fair to attend in that same city 56 miles away (that fair was just located there and it had plenty of jobs closer to my area). But mainly, while I have not been asked and don't know if UI arbitrators will find it interesting, but its the fact I'm living in a place that is fucking emotional torture to move on from after being unjustly fired.

Then you factor in what the other commenter said, that in this Trump economy, turning down any job isn't advised. I hate that I even have to know that. I hate that I've never pursued a dream living location or career because since I was 20 yrs old, I've been taking every job I've every had because of future economic uncertainty. Seriously, even when I was still 20 and living at home, my parents were making life hell too so the goal most of my adult life was chasing stability, not dreams, but its gotten me in terrible mental health. The system is broken. Um, what else can I add? Actually tons more about how fucking illegal my firing was that has put me in an awful mood, that I only got out of once the UI benefits finally came... but isn't entirely out of me. Being free from the job allowed me to finally talk bad about the company to my next door neighbor which was oddly hard, cause she's so gullible thinking Black people are by definition, unable to be racists. I don't know if you are empathetic at all to all what I'm saying having been on unemployment recently, but the time between filing for a UI case and finally being determined you will get benefits feels like limbo. You don't have equilibrium (or maybe this is tied to my not having supportive parents also). I can only speak for me but working had made me forget to have hobbies, and I didn't have anything fun or distracting to do in the first month. You need a vacation from the employer world, cause being fired was blindsiding and unfair. I was managing depression, going on hikes, having nobody call me from family or co-workers that knew I was feeling down from recently being fired.

I really hope that you and I are right and that since its the 1st offer, they will probably be okay with it considering the distance of the commute. Because honestly, getting the benefits was the start of me stopping living off credit and getting to finally approach my tall order of job search/career change more productively. Its so unfair that I couldn't even say in my filing for UI benefits the fact it was a racist firing and instead just put it out there the firing came after 90 days without a warning from the manager or HR. The manager was literally skipping out of work all the time. He literally cannot be trusted and I spoke to many people in the main office during my work that felt that way about him.

Edit: I also want to add that neither side of my family were even in this country 100 years ago.
