Real April Fool

Today is not a good day, not because someone played a joke on me. Its a day when nothing seems to be quite right, i seem to get somethings mixed up. So its like God playing a joke on me...saying i shld perhaps start to really really read fine prints and everything before assuming that i got it all right. Yup, assumption is the mother of all ****. Started with me trying to do a log on on a government website, got my user id and password all jumbled, end result me being unable to go further. That incl answering the secret question wrongly. The 2 trips to the government office, first stop was brief, told i have to go get another doc which was required for submission and then was told they can't process me becos the starting queue number was only to answer enquiries. And that number was taken from the lady who was managing the machine. I actually asked her whether another number was required and she said no. Guess how freaking angry i was when i got to the counter. The a trip home, photocopying to be done and another trip. And then the guy who checked through the application fouled up becos he was so busy talking and trying to show he knew everything by the back of his hand. One more ***. This time, i spoke to his boss becos of his stupid mistake becos he panicked and cldnt provide me a satisfactory answer. What lah..don't know, say i need to check lah. Why try to be smart aleck? Worse is when your effort at impression turns out to be a slap on your own face. The only good thing that ended the morning frustration was filing my income tax. I suppose becos the government wants to collect your monies, they make it so effortless so you wldnt feel the pain too much for the deductions they make. What a day. Me being the insufferable fool.
