It doesn't matter what YOU want. This it what matters:

The people that got denied in these examples didn't want their jobs either. As far as EDD was concerned, they got offered work that was good enough, and then didn't get their UI. You are on much shakier ground having waited to apply for your UI.
Your employer if they are so inclined will be able to say they had a job for you and you didn't show up.
Even cbg told you on April 1 to apply for the UI, and she and I rarely agree on anything.
