Anti-war, Anti-racism | Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky #club100

How to live is very relative, it can be a game of trial and error 🤷🏻‍♀️

If only Dostoevsky had written "Trial and Error" - he had to write "Crime and Punishment" instead.

I spent almost three hours on the telephone with tech support for the government today. It is approaching Tax season, and I wanted to be sure I could log onto the government website. The internet was really slow, and I started off with one woman, Paula, then eventually it had to escalate to another person named Josh. I punished those people terribly. Paula apologized to me for taking so long, but I told her the story about the farmer who held a pig up a tree. I was worse with Josh. They couldn't resolve the issue so in a couple of days, the next level will contact me. I wonder what story I will tell them.

I found a backdoor into my profile on the government website, and if I was younger I would create a workaround to let myself in. I suggested to Josh, that if the government won't let me in to pay taxes, I don't have to pay this year. He suggested that decision was above his pay grade.

PS
The workaround entails changing (&allowInteraction=true&reauth=false) reauth=true.

Hi David, sorry for my late reply to your comment. Unfortunately, when phone calls in official business enter like a whirlpool, it is very difficult to find the exit😑 I don't know if you made them angry or think by telling stories, but I think you did well👌 I don't know the story of the farmer hanging the pig up the tree. If you want to tell me it, I'd like to listen.

You wrote that they will call you in a few days. I wonder what story you told them when they called😀

You know what I'm thinking? Maybe the government is prolonging the solution so they can hear your stories 😄

Hi David, sorry for my late reply to your comment.

Whenever someone apologizes for taking up my time, I tell them about the man who walked down a road. He saw a farmer holding a pig up in a tree as he walked. Quizzically he asked the farmer what he was doing. The farmer appealingly said that he was feeding his pig some apples.

"Isn't that time-consuming," queried the man.

"What's time to a pig?!" retorted the farmer.

I am still waiting for the call.

I hope you were able to solve the problem. Btw, this is the first time I've heard the story of the farmer feeding the pig, and I think it's a nice story 🙂

It has been almost two weeks and still no solution to the problem. Even the pig is getting bored.

Some modern world problems... Greetings to patient Pig 🐷
