		<description>AH, I knew there was a reason I liked you (and your writings) A fellow unemployed Geek! LOVE YOU!

And YEP, I was subjected to GA DOL HELL (years ago)--Thank GOD I&#039;ve not been &quot;tagged&quot; for Class this time. 

I took the &quot;how to Search for a Job on the Internet&quot; (and ended up teaching 1/2 the class---as apparently the GA DOL does not realize sites like Indeed.com and Simplyhired.com actually exists that Scrape ALL the sites for you in one handy little repository. How NOVEL?!?!

And I&#039;m SILL Peeved I had to sit in a chair for 2-hours, only to go into a room where an $8/hr employee instructs me on how to fill out a piece of paper (with such challenging --mind baffling entries as &quot;Name, Address, Phone Number!)--They actually PAY SOMEONE to do this.

Where I was then released to go sit ANOTHER hour, to only go sit in front of a computer that wanted the same information I put on the piece of paper!

THEN, to top it all off, I &quot;Certify&quot; Weekly on line!

I asked the Kind Gentleman (on my 2nd visit--as I was too annoyed to stay the first time)---Why I had to use the Computers at the GA. DOL location, when I could free up space and go fill it out at home. (he said it&#039;s because we need to verify your Identity).

Well KLOWN! I just gave you an ID. Why not give me a temporary Passocde to take home to authenticate myself.

I mean, if the DMV wil trust me to send me my replacement GA. DL for a mere $5, why can&#039;t the GA. DOL figure out a similar system?

Wait, I know---because about 15-GA. DOL employee will be out of work!  God forbid we don&#039;t have the Lady tell us how to fill out a piece of paper (including MY NAME no less!!!)

Gesh, wonder if she could hack it in the &quot;real world&quot;.</description>
