The unemployment chronicles part 5: I've been on hold with D.C. unemployment for 2 hours....

As I write this note I have been on hold with the D.C. unemployment office for 2 hours. The majority of that time has been either listening to really intense classical music, ( like the kind you hear on Zales commercials. Zales has luckily went belly up recently) or being given a list of menu options to choose from that reads like a Goosebumps choose your own ending book. Once you choose an option, you may choose another option, and another option, and another option when all you want to do is speak to a fucking person.
The reason I am on the line with D.C. unemployment is that I filed a claim back in September when I was laid off from my totally awesome after college job. I wound up closing the claim before collecting any money because I decided it would be worth it to try the retail position ( fucking stupid on my part). Anyway I tried to file a claim with Maryland since that is where I live now, but they tell me I still have a claim with D.C. that has money on it. So I need to collect all my benefits from D.C. before re-applying in M.D. which doesn't make any fucking sense to me since I am no longer a D.C. resident, but money is money no matter what state I get it from.
Anyway, I tried to get through to the D.C. unemployment office for an hr, but constantly got a busy signal. I looked online and the number I had for the office was correct so I kept trying. I finally got through only to be put through a series of press 1- if you want directions to our office, press 2- if you want information on I-9 forms, press 3- if you want to scrape out your eyes with a rusty spoon...you get the picture. When I finally got to press number 8 on the 3rd menu I got to, the option that says ' if you want to speak to a representative,' I was put on hold to listen to the same fucking song for the past hour....

WAIT WAIT I GOT THROUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!! SWEET NECTAR OF THE GODS....PEACE OUT GUYS
