   I have joined the ranks of the  walking dead, or at least, I feel that way.  Actually even the 'walking' part of that is incorrect, sad to say.  I have spent a total of seven days, eight hours a day, with a phone attached to my ear trying to contact CA's employment department.  I have it down to less than two minutes per call and as soon as the rejection comes, I hang up and dial again.  That's what, thirty calls per hour?  Even before the clock strikes 8 a.m. I am there with my new appendage stuck to my ear, dialing madly only to be told 'due to the amount of callers waiting to talk to an associate, we are unable to assist you at this time. Please call back later'  Later than what?  Can we say ultra frustrated?  The real pain of it is, they are holding up my unemployment until this is done.  I can't leave my house, I have spoken with the three different times and they tell me the problem is solved, when indeed, it is NOT.  It's no wonder to me that people snap and do terrible things, and it is so sad that it is an issue at all.  It is definitely a lesson in patience, I have no choice in this matter, I have to get this resolved.  So today, and likely tomorrow, look no further than the end of the telephone cord to find me.  The only good thing is that I am able to do my quilling between dialing the numbers.  It just would be nice to have this done and over with!  Thanks for letting me vent!
