That actually really confuses me too, why do I put all my info in on the phone, when I have to give the same information to the person who finally does pick up??? annoying! So anyways, 1.5 hours is the longest Ive been on hold ... i can't imagine 2.5 hours. Thats ridiculous. The unemployment office actually started telling people to call back if the wait was over an hour, so sometimes you could call 6x a day go through the whole rigamaroll of putting in your info just to be told to call back at a later time.

Now that's something you have to wait for! Put on speaker and play on YT!
