That's just irritating

NY State has a Website you can use to put in your weekly unemployment claims. agrumer spoke highly of it, so last week I took a deep breath, turned JavaScript on, and tried it. Quick and efficient, much better than all the key punching and listening to the same recording as last week via dial-a-robot.

Today it was like wading through molasses. And when I finally got through the molasses, I got an error message explaining that they were "unable to serve [me]" and reiterating that the service is generally available (among other times) "all day Sunday." Today is Sunday. NYS Department of Labor claims to be an equal opportunity employer--do you suppose they'll hire me to write less annoying error messages?
