As most of you know, I am getting married this fall to the lovely Josephine. The planning of the wedding is going fairly smoothly for the most part, a couple of minor snags here and there, but nothing too bad.
Except for one thing. I've been trying to get a hold of the County Clerk's office there for a form we'll need for the wedding. I've talked to probably 4 different people, asking the same thing. I need this form, you don't have it on your website (which is dumb in and of itself) so how can I get a copy. Not too complicated, right?
Au contraire.
Apparently, only ONE person in the County Clerk's office knows how to take care of such an audacious request. ONE. Today, I finally got to talk to her. I began giving her my information so she could snail-mail me the form when she cut me off, saying "you have to speak up, I can't hear you too well". No problem, I get that a lot. So louder I go. Then, "sir, you're cutting out". OK, adjust the headset...all better. Start talking again, and she's repeating my info back to me...and then as she is speaking, I hear the phone slam down...CLICK. So I call back, and I was pretty pissed. "Hi, I was just giving my information to someone who didn't give me her name so she could mail me a form and I got...well, disconnected I guess. Can you get her for me?"
"Oh, she just went to lunch."
Um, WHAT?
"You mean to tell me that she saw it was her lunch time in the middle of what we were doing so she HUNG UP ON ME? Wow."
In the interest of actually getting the form sent to me, I was very polite and courteous to the person who was actually staying on the line with me...gave her all my info and she promised me that she'd get it to the at lunch lady, whose name I have in the mental Rolodex. It's being saved...because the day I get everything I need from the Clerk's office approved and all that stuff, the County Clerk is getting the complaint letter of all time
about his employee. And a nice compliment about the lady I spoke to later, because SHE was very nice. What's fair is fair.

That is just so ridiculous!!! First, she needs to get fired. Then she needs to go to Kansas and find the Wizard of Oz so that he can give her a freakin' brain! BYATCH!!!
