Today I was inspired to try and get a passport so that I would have it in case I made it big and had to leave the country quickly….no but really I just wanted to get my passport in case I wanted to do something this coming year. So I went online and filled out the required form, got my proof of citizenship, and identification ready to go so I would be prepared. So I head to the post office (I do not know about the rest of America but there are only a few places on the face of the earth that really just piss me off as soon as I step foot there: DMV, Wal-Mart, and the post office) I arrive during my lunch break after checking online to see if I needed to make an appointment before just showing up. This post office did not say that I had to make an appointment so I heading to that office. Once I arrived I saw the door that said passport processing or whatever it said followed by a sign that said by appointment only. I knew at that moment that I had just wasted half of my lunch break because I was about to deal with a government run institution. The door was cracked and I could clearly see there was no one in there except for a gentlemen sitting at a computer so I walked up and knocked on the cracked door…the door was abrutly slammed in my face. I thought “Ok its cool just chill not a big deal…I’m just going to to call that number on the door and set an appointment.” So I dial the number and am greeted by the normal enthusiasm of a postal worker. I said that I needed to set up an appointment to do all the stuff for a passport he asked me when was a good time…I looked at my watch it read 12:32 pm…I responded a 12:30 appointment would work for me because I had just arrived. The answer that I got to my request was priceless, “I am sorry Sir but since it is passed 12:30 the next available appointment we have is at 1.” I laughed and hung up the phone and left…This great experience reminds me why I really would like for our Government to be running as much of this country as possible (including Health Care) because when I think Government I think efficiency (I hope you can sense the sarcaism).
