Saturday March 14th (aka Saturday The 14th 😱)

[hincapie]

I spent the day driving...

A multi-handicapped woman from wifeys work wanted a cat ... it may sound simple - but shes in a wheelchair in a 24/7 assisted home and so when a local council is involved it requires the lady to fill a form requesting an assisted car, requesting a driver and coordinating a time when 1 educated and 1 other personnel could accompany her to pick up a cat ... which of course meant it would be in 2months at the earliest...

So, we told them to stuff it and just drove down and picked up the cat for her. That baffled the bureaucracy to paralysis...as I picked up the phone from the personnel coordinator or whatever:

"But what about fuel???"
"I intend to pour some inside the car, it works better that way"

"You can only be compensated if you have pre-approval and an accounting of expenses. I can send the necessary forms to you"
"No need, I fully intend to spend 0 seconds doing accounting"

"You are going on a saturday. Shouldnt it be the weekend personnel handling this?"
"Has it occured to you that Im not at all employed by you, im just taking my beloved wife for a drive and picking up a cat"

It seems endless....but the lady is happy at least
