Like a job in and of itself

Holy crap! It just took me an hour — AN HOUR — to apply for unemployment. That was like the most work I’ve done in months.

Be careful with those unemployment folks. Do not contact them for ah-ny-thing. If you call them, they try to find a reason to kick you off unemployment. It happened to me. I had to have a trial in front of an administrative law judge and he gave me my money back. So take that, unemployment office lady that tried to rat me out for something I did not do!

I never had a problem with them at all. I didn’t get paid for five weeks, but it was because my former employer is full of douchebags that couldn’t return any paperwork.

Online was always the quickest bet in my experience!
