OMG, I am feeling volcanic!

I tried to submit my weekly claim for unemployment, and it won't let me, unless I re-start it! They showed me claiming, then said last week's was on hold for "expected income"!!!!! WTF??!! So I have the choice of re-starting (where does that leave my previous weeks??) or trying to get ahold of them on phone. Called. Oh, they only work M-F. Of course! ****ing avalanche of claims and they can't be arsed to put staff on weekends. One of my housemates LITERALLY called 400 times (yes, 400) and still landed on hold for 2 1/2 hours. So, what is it I'm supposed to do if I can't get through to them within the 5 days they give to accomplish this before they drop my claim?? I STILL haven't heard back if they have my correct address. Nor have they given me the claim number that I would need to be able to check that online!

WHAT A ******* cluster****!!!!!!!!!

I mean, I *get* that they're snowed under and things will take extra time. But when they require special numbers to access basic information (why??) and stop you in your tracks with wrong info to boot, WTF am I supposed to do?! I'm NOT expecting income! Where the hell did they get that from????!!!!!




TG I'd saved a bit of money up or I'd be 100% screwed.

Sorry for the rant, but I need someplace to vent this. I am absolutely FURIOUS!!
