It may seem a departure-I am not railing against big business.....but it's all connected. I hate government (I REFUSE to capitilize what I consider a synonym for SCUM) more-and that is saying a lot.....

This is just yet another example in a very long line of them explaining how I came to be this way.....

Last year in the Summer, after having my M2 motocycle licence for well over the required 18 month waiting period to be tested for full M status, I proceeded to the DriveTest location nearest to me to get it done before I moved far away and the weather got cold.

The woman who "served" me (if you can call it that) would not book a test for me, she maintained I had not had my M2 licence long enough. I knew this to be incorrect and argued with her but in the end what could I do? She knew it all (bitch) and would not book a test date for me. So off I went shaking my head (yet again) in disgust as how moronic and bitchy their staff are).

Of course anyone who rides a motorcycle knows we would much rather be riding in the Summer as opposed to early Spring in tempermental Canada! I once went on a May 24 run that ended up being -1 and freezing rain....which is exactly why I did not want to wait til the last minute to be booking my test! Oh me and my silly logic and rationality eh...this IS the scuzerment I am dealing with, I should know better.....

This April I got my notice my M2 would expire in May...uh huh big suprise I knew it...Miss know-it-all apparently DIDN'T! So thanks to her incompetence and refusal to listen to someone with an IQ higher than a chair I was forced to go to their DriveTest center and book a test ASAP.

I now live an hour from it...oh how special....

So I did...but it doesn't end there. The pinheaded goof I booked the test with said "Would next Friday be OK" Now to me NEXT Friday would be May 15th...allowing me plenty of time to arrange the day off and also pray for decent weather. So I said yes that would be fine.

Well he can't read a calender, I get into my truck to go back to work and see his version of "next" Friday is May 8th...THIS Friday. Uh huh.....

Oh wait, there's a 1-800 number on the form-I will just give them a call and rechedule-no biggie! Except for this is a government office I am dealing with.....

I call the number-I have 48 hours to reschedule or I lose my (bullshit ripoff) fee but I'm still within the time. I finally get a human and after about ten second he says "We are having a fire alarm I must leave the building" (oh no PLEASE stay in there haha) and hangs up on me.

I try and try and try and finally get through again...well now I am past their magic 48 hour deadline and am told they can't do anything about it. This is taking into account they are damn well aware I called and that they had a fire alarm. I ask to be put through to a supervisor but the woman refuses. Facts are not good enough for these dummies.

The woman gives me the Drivetest (my patience) # and tells me to speak to a supervisor and they will rectify the mistake and reschedule me.

No they wouldn't. Again I request, but am again not allowed, to speak to a supervisor. The idiot tells me the woman at the ministry 1-800 line was "incorrect" and I must come back in to their office in person because of the 48 hour rule. Oh yeah...no prob...I just live an hour away and have a JOB! Never mind that at this point they really don't want me in their stupid office as I want to skin someone.....sooo I calmly tell this woman I was advised by Ministry personal that it would be possible for me to call and rectify this...and keep in mind this is all taped for "quality control" (yeah right) and documented. She tells me the woman was "mistaken". At this point I lose my cool. OF COURSE she was mistaken, she works for the _____ government so she's bloody well brain dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have emailed Jim Bradly, the Minister responsible for this farce....and will likely end up having to lose a days pay to fix this OR ride down in the rain and take my test, IF I can get the time off work with such short notice.

All this because of one idiot who didn't know how to do her job last Summer.
I am LIVID, to say the least.

Multiple experiences like this explain my utter lack of use for government. I'd be happier in a Mad Max world where I can at least behead people who piss me off this badly. Or maybe they'd behead me ha I have no illusions that life would be paradise...but I'll take my chances, with government oppression we don't have a chance excwept to bend over and take it. NOT my operating condition in the least.... After over 25 years of government office foul ups that have cost me time and time and TIME again I ...these IDIOTS need to be held accountable but it seems that never happen-especially when you aren't even permitted to speak to a supervisor FFS! I could do their jobs better, as most of us private sector ACCOUNTABLE workers could!

Hell, monkeys could!

They wreck my fuckin' fashion every time.....
