Stood in line for an hour this morning with an ambient temperature of 17F plus a nice steady breeze because I couldn't file my weekly claims online. Turns out my paperwork that I stood outside in the cold for over an hour three weeks ago to fill out hadn't been keyed into the system yet. The kicker in all this is that they have a hiring freeze so can't hire an extra body to do data entry now while unemployment is at its highest, but once the freeze is over they'll be able to. Ironically, the unfreeze will most likely occur at the same time the need for an extra employee goes away. I won't blame this one on Obama since thus has always been the way of our government. |

What is DOL in non-merkin speak? Department of Labour? |

I have noticed that there is a massive difference between government employees in my county versus every county south of me. The employees here are nice, helpful and process the lines of people rather fast. This began 3 years ago for whatever conspiracy reason. Why were you in the cold? I dealt with the DoL when things were at the worst for filing and I was inside the whole time (I report to your county for filing). But they did forget to put me in as well so I had to make a second trip just as you did but that was only a matter of 5 minutes. I think the government is warming me up for some horrible audit or perhaps they plan to erase my identity altogether. |

I like Toronto, too, because it's an easy 4 points for the Canucks every season. I only with they were in our division. :D |

Sure, you might want things done your way all the time, Mr. Inside The Box, but I'm a big proponent of thread topic drift. |

If this thread was the time-space continuum, some ensign would probably be warning us about tachyons right before his console blew up and killed him. |

In space, all warriors are cold warriors. Apparently that holds true at the DOL, where all applicants are also cold applicants. |

Oh my God! Those tachyons have a left-handed spin! I received a call last week from Ryla asking me to work today and tomorrow at 10am. Therefore I needed to be sure I could get through the line in time to make it there. This meant being there an hour before the doors opened and I still had 15 people ahead of me. It wasn't so bad when I did the same thing back in May. |

Unlocked doors make all the difference. I was thinking there was a sudden unemployment rush when a few big places went bust locally. |

I was actually getting it mixed up with fagot which is a bundle of sticks or twigs. I do like a good witch burning from time to time still. |
