Many people believe we have Extraterrestrials living among us – I have a theory. Having attempted to fill out government forms I am of the opinion we do have aliens in our midst. They are gainfully employed in the public service sector designing and constructing forms for the rest of us to fill in, and then manning the phones to make sure we cannot do it. An example, I needed to apply for a registration number to allow me to access certain government forms, fine, after diligently filling out what felt like 93 pages of non relevant information I went to the next page – ‘Please enter your registration number’ . Ok that is for people who already have a rego number, so I will go to the next page – wrong, one has to enter the registration number to access the next page.
Hang on! I am applying for the rego number. I decided to call the associated department and was put on hold. With the phone on speaker, I swept, mopped and vacuumed the house, painted a feature wall in the bedroom and watched a series on Netflix. Finally a voice. I explained the situation and was bluntly informed everyone has a number. Where would I find my number I asked. ‘Don’t know was the reply, you should take better care of your personal details. How do I go about retrieving my number and from which government department? ‘You get it from this department by filling out a form’. Which form? ‘The one you have been filling out’. May I speak to someone who not only speaks English but also understands it? Hello! Hello! Yep, aliens.
Just my thoughts!
