I did the UC dance for a few weeks, twice, during my "career" since I starting working back in '75.

Interesting part? You didn't get a check unless you VERIFIED that you were looking for a job and they CONFIRMED it.

Now, I guess you sit a keyboard, ***** about the act itself, then just "mail it in" as the phrase goes.

Then, you ***** about the money not being in your account a micro-second after the 1st of the month.

IIRC, back in the 70s, UC was only a 9-week, or 13-week gig and you got only 40% ("teaser" rate?) of what you normally made. After that, they threw you the anchor and wished you good luck floating.

Times certainly are rough now, eh?
