Phone vs internet
Florida unemployment claims.. When you are doing a new or submitting your claim. It is best to do it over the phone. Have your dates, wages and what not ready.. How do I know? I had to redo a claim. I did it per internet. I called back the next day and was told .. It has to cycle through the system. I was so angry and tired about UC. I sd Oh and hung up.
I called today and asked What’s the time frame for cycle? She sd one week to 2 weeks.
Huh?
But the phone claims processing takes 24 hrs to 72hrs. Why? as you speak your information in the voicemail. You speak to a live agent at the end of the call.
Huh?
Wouldn’t the internet be faster than phone system? No, the phone has a live agent to verify and push the button. I guess, I said. As, I shook my head in disgrace.
Most of the AWI-UC workers are nice. They emphasize with your situation. So please be respectful to them. They did not create this mess!
I pray this economy turns around soon. This is so crazy.

$8.50hr
I had my 1st phlebotomy interview today. *gulp*
The interview was at a donor plasma place. I was excited at 1st. When I realise the distance. I was hmm!! ok! Well !! How could I work this out?
Initially, I was to have an interview with director. She passed me onto the asst mgr. She did not introduce herself, nor shake hands.. H1n2 or R2D2 flu or not.. I’m cool with it!
We are talking about the job. I received the vitals about the job. They expect you to turn around the chair(quickly), you to work overtime and you to be a slave. Wow! Benefits and Bonuses sound good. No scrub clothing allowance
The asst mgr sd We pay $8.50 hr. We want ppl to stay for longevity! She they certify and train you for the Donor plasma job. Therefore, this justified the low ass pay.. So she tried selling me on this place. Well, you could always use this as jump off to another job. I thought ya’ll wanted longevity. *looking at her sideways*
*singing*
Have I stepped into the Twilight Zone?
*chirping*
My face went spasmistic!
Asst mgr asked Would I have a problem? Hell to the yes ! Gas is rising again. Rent is always the same. I cant even cover my bills with that mess.
HOld up.. Fla mininium wage is $7.21. I still could collect unemployment check and double dip like the Fla Fat Cats.. lol
They could have said $8.50 hr on the phone. My interview was over 15 minutes. Asst mgr told me to think it over and call her next week. Asst mgr went directly to Director’s office. As I left the laboratory.
*Tumbleweeds are rolling*
At least my phlebotomy instructor was correct about something.. Stay away from Donor plasma places. Wow!
