HUGE backlog.

And I am actually a part of that backlog, because my account was one of the ones stolen by the hackers a month or so ago.

So my account is locked. So I can't file for unemployment until I talk to someone in person. And the phone wait times are measured in days.

In all likelihood, it will take all of July for me to just recover my account, and then it will be too late to file for the 4 Fridays in July I will actually get off, so I will have to appeal, and each of those days will require a separate appeal, which can take months to resolve in "normal times".

So I do not actually expect to get a single dollar of this money.

But yeah. There's a backlog. There are backlogs on top of backlogs. On top of backlogs.
