So, because I am the unfortunate member of the class known as middle, I had to pay my own way through school. The government gave me a bit of help and now owns me body and soul.
The reams of paperwork that I need to fill out on a quarterly basis to keep them from extracting the funds back from me while I enjoy the benefits of the bad economy is legion.
Here was my latest and perhaps my favorite.
"Please fill out this forma and attached documentation" (shortened version of their request)
So, I did. Made myself copies and sent it off.
One week later.
"Thanks for submitting, but we could not process this because it did not have all the required information BECAUSE- we did not ask for that information as it is a new requirement and we have not updated our forms,"
OK, guys- psychic comes extra. How was I to know to put it on there if they did not ask for it? And how much is it costing them (us) to send out the wrong form, and then send it back?
A weaker mind would snap.
