EDD Update, Part II

Holy shit! That has got to be the worst automated phone system in the universe. I just spent half an hour trying to talk to a live person and got hung up on five times. There’s no menu option to talk to a representative. The entire system is a recording and when you enter “wrong” entries twice, it hangs up on you. I had to Google to find a way to get to a live person (enter 3-2-1-0 by the way).

On my fifth call using the “trick” above, it did seem I was about to be transferred to a representative but then the system said there were too many people waiting and hung up on me. What kind of f*cked up bullshit is this? Sure, let’s have more and bigger government programs! Can you imagine a for-profit company pulling this crap? They would be out of business in a heartbeat yet California takes >10% of my salary and gives us this nonsense.

I guess I have to write a letter since I can’t talk to anyone.
