I'd Like To Thank...

This is an old conversation that I have been meaning to blog and kept forgetting to. Pardon the small rant at the end.

"Hey, do you think we can go down to Canada Place and get all this stuff out of the way?"

"Sure, what time are they open?"

"I don't know."

"Do they have a number we can call to find out?"

One of the funniest conversations I have had in a LONG TIME. If anyone knows how the Govn't works, there isn't such a thing as a specific number to call. You NEVER get the same person twice. (Of course, unless you are related to/know them and have their actual number and extention) Not just that, but they would probably hand you off to someone else, who will hand you off to someone else, who will hand you off to someone else...you get the drift. No one there has the answers one is looking for. EVER!

Of course, I mean no offence to those Govn't workers who KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, for I have actually come into contact with one...out of the hundreds I have spoken to ACROSS CANADA. No lie, I call the building here in Edmonton, and they actually transferred me 5 TIMES to people in Quebec, Saskatchewan, Toronto & Winnipeg. WHY? Because they haven't got a clue OR the right people around them (I guess) who might.

So, if you happen to be one of those rare people who work for the Govn't and know what they are doing when someone calls with a SIMPLE question, EXAMPLE: I would like to cancel YOUR paying ME for the CCTB please. Keep up the good work, and would you know where to transfer me?

This is all kind of funny to me now, yet annoying and stressful at the same time. Go figure.

I hope no one else has to go through the same. Hope you are one of the lucky ones who finds that same person I did who knew what she was talking about. Her name was Dana (like Banana) She was AWESOME!

Thanks Dana.
