I really *hate* dealing with the government 99.99% of the time... almost all government agencies are filled with ineptitude and idiocy.
In January I updated my phone number for my EI benefits. That's right... just my phone number... I did not touch my address, as it had not changed. Well, I was supposed to be paid today but that didn't happen so I called in. It seems that somehow the computer said I changed my address to moving out of country. The woman said there would have been a screen come up saying to call in with my address because it was out of country. No such fricking screen came up. I did not change my fricking address. I changed my phone number. Frick.
This has affected a repayment to the EI office, as they gave a double-payment to most of western Canada in December. If I get charged interest because of a late payment I'm going to be even more pissed than I am right now (If that's possible).
Frick I'm annoyed.
I'm also annoyed that Blogger's spell check isn't working for me. I'm sure I spelled at least one word wrong in the first paragraph. But, oh well. I'm going to town to get out of the house and clear my head.
Fricking government.

Oh my. Only the government would give you too much money by accident and then charge *you* interest if you repay it back late.
So did you get the address thing fixed when you were talking to the woman? Or do you now have to fill out immigration papers since you have recently moved to Canada? :P
On behalf of my fellow Canadians, welcome! ;)
Yes, I'm a smartass today.
That totally sucks. The incompetence of the government is overwhelming sometimes. Sheesh!
