Entry number three today.

Ever get the feeling you are talking in circles and dealing with half-witted brain-dead morons of the backward variety?

I do.

Yes, I’m afraid I am still rabbiting on about my tax returns…

As mentioned in the previous entry, I emailed the tax office website and explained that I needed the activation code to do my return, and that I really needed to get an extension on health grounds. I also mentioned that I needed an email address to contact, as I was unable to hold a telephone because of my health.

I then get a reply back saying that I will need to telephone them to sort out the problem.

*rolls eyes*

I then reply explaining again that I can’t use the telephone at the moment, and that I still need an activation code in case I can’t get an extension, since I can’t hold a pen to write, so can’t do the paper based version.

Their reply… Helpful? Useful? Hardly!

They couldn’t speed up the activation code because of security issues, so my only other option was to get the paper form from my local tax office and fill it all out by hand.

Do these people even bother to read more than the first line of an email?

I mean COME ON! It’s hardly rocket science… And isn’t that one of the advantages of the internet, helping people who can’t manage by other means?

*shakes head*

Why do I have a horrible feeling I’m going to miss the deadline and end up getting fined through the nose, even thought I’m pretty sure I won’t owe them anything anyway!
