RANDOLPH, Justice,
for the Court.
¶ 1. Following Hurricane Katrina, Patricia Sherman was, inter alia, instructed by her employer to charge and collect room rates greater than room rates charged before the storm. Soon thereafter, she quit her position as a motel desk clerk. Initially, Sherman was awarded unemployment benefits, but later the Board of Review for the Mississippi Department of Employment Security (“MDES”) denied Sherman’s claim. The Circuit Court of Jackson County, Mississippi, affirmed. From that ruling proceeds this appeal.
