I'm proud to announce that it is true. Everything they ever told you about the difficulty of getting unemployment is true.

And I'm going to spare you guys from having to listen to me rant about it because I am tring to cultivate what little human dignity I can right now.

But, if any of you can explain to me why calling their automated voicemail system is different every time you call it, I'd love to talk to you.

I'm not much of a technologist, but I do tend to believe that computers at least try to do the same thing the same way every time they do it.

Maybe I'm wrong though. Maybe there's some sort of mathmatically random algorythm running in the Department of Workforce Development's voice-mail system. I bet it is named "the keep'em-guessin-o-tron 2000."

Update: I did manage to get into an on-hold cue. Currently at 12 minutes.
