HI all- After starting my new job in Tulsa 3-31-08, my last day will be 2-13-09. I am eligible for UI. My concern is that I won;t have enough "base" time built up to get a decent amount, as I only have 10-1/2 months in oklahoma, but a lot of time built up in WI. I've tried calling but have been on hold for 45 min+ then the call disconnects I'm scafed I won;t get enough to live on or anything at all. any ideas what my chances are?

You should get something, even if it's not from this job. They go back and take a certain percentage of time and base your UI benefits on that. I would go down to the employment office in person or use their website. I hear that the Texas Employment Commission is being flooded with requests so badly that people have been on hold for an hour or more. There are a lot of people out of work, me included.
Good luck!

Wow, the quality of some of our government employees is quite unremarkable.

Have you ever considered the similarity between "civil servant" and "uncivil master?"

You're making me think hard on that one.
