Unemployment....my rant for today

This is just so irritating, I could SCREAM

I filed for unemployment on 6/15, filled out the application online. Filed my weekly claim that Sunday night. On Friday 6/22 I received a notice in the mail, that I needed to call Topeka, that they had a question about my application. I called 4 times on Friday, followed the instructions on the automated service that would get me to the department I need to speak to. Evidently, if there are too many people on hold, the automated service tells you to call back later and hangs up on you.

Monday, I try again. same thing.....so I try to called every 1/2 hour for the next 6 hours same thing....Finally at 3:30pm I get put on hold. Well I waited and waited...nothing. Knowing that the call center is open only to 4pm, I waited until 4:15pm to hang up, hoping that they would take the calls that were holding. YEAH RIGHT. (btw, the time I am trying to call, I finish the laundry, the dishes, paying bills, and looking online for a job, and find several more to apply for.)

Today, I finally get put on hold instead of being hung up on.....2 hours later, my phone goes dead....so I still didn't get through.

OK wth am I supposed to do.

I tried to call the Employment office in Dodge....and got another automated service, and since I don't have an extention # for someone, I have to leave a message in the general mail box. Yeah how much ya wanna bet I get called back anytime soon.

I have an interview tomorrow in Dodge so I'll run by there then and see what they tell me.


I swear if ya'll hear someone screaming. it's me.
