Hi symphony sweetie
- long time no hear, I must stop by your place and read to catch up. I hope you are doing well and not having to deal with 'them' any more.

Hi Taps
thanks for looking in on me:) trust me, the kind of poems I might have been inspired to write lately would have depressed everyone as well as myself LOL - seem to be a lot brighter and long may it continue.

Hi Naut, how are you?
and I'm so happy to have the support :) I do feel more on top today - no noise from my spouse lately (my daughter more than making up for it but that's a whole other ball game) and life is quiet. I'll stop by your place later ... mine's a marguerita LOL

Hi Ladychardonnay
and thanks for visiting my blog, don't think I've seen you here before:) I really didn't expect to hear any more, but then look what came through the door - well, we'll see what we see won't we. I will have gone back to work (in the new year) by the time they sort it all out. Is it worth it I wonder. The cupboard isn't bare yet.

Probably good advice Pat B
however, it was all too hard and I gave up, only to come home to another communication in which I have to describe the exact nature of my incapacity. If it includes my mental state, there is a little section in which I can tell them about 'problems I have dealing with other people' ..... it is so-o-o tempting to be facetious LOL

mneme, Do you think you will ever get things just right so that you might be inclined to write poems once more?

I have just been catching up here - this post and the earlier one - and what strikes me is that, in spite of the misery and bureaucratic imperviousness and intransigence, at bottom you
do sound well, and
determined - and if you keep that up, things
will get better! And I certainly wish you the best...

There's a slogan about dealing with bureaucrats (or working in a
govt office) "It's hard to fly like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys." You just have to out-crat them; cross every T, dot every I, fill out every form, and keep the BS going until you get what you are entitled to. The merry-go-round will still be going long after they've retired and must suffer at the hands of their replacements. I hope that thought brings some comfort.
