Eff You, Department of Labor!

Filling out unemployment application:
"Under the law, benefits can only be paid to a claimant who is determined to be totally unemployed."

Well, I'm not determined to be totally unemployed, but if you want me to, I guess I will.

Also, under ethnicity, the only options are "Hispanic," "Non-Hispanic," or "Do not wish to answer." Hmmm. And...after being on hold for two whole hours, and being on the phone for about an hour, my day has gone to waste. Thanks, Labor Department! You'd think they would want us the unemployed to spend their time in a better way, but oh well.

Stay tuned for day two of the Adventures of Jenny Eternally On Hold.
