55 @%$&ing minutes and 10 &$%*ing seconds

...is how long I was on hold with Service Ontario for only to be told that the forms we sent in at the hospital weren't for a birth certificate after all, and that I should wait for another month and a half until they send me something in the mail saying, Okay Boh's Mommy, let's see how long we can torment you before that blood vessel of yours bursts from the rage...this letter is to let you know to go ahead and apply for the birth certificate now...BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST TO %$*#ING EASY TO HAVE YOU FILL OUT ALL THE FORMS AT ONCE SO THAT THERE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANY OF THE $#&*ING CONFUSION TO BEGIN WITH. Oh yeah, and that will be another $50 %$#*ING DOLLARS for the pleasure of dealing with us bitchy people who - even though we are supposed to SERVICE ONTARIANS - are pissed at YOU for calling in the first place even though it was you who lost almost AN HOUR of her life that you can never, ever get back (not to mention the cell phone minutes that just went down the drain since you refuse to have a land line. Oi.)

All I can say is THANK GOD that baby I'm registering is a good one, and was happy in his swing for an hour while mommy sat with a phone to her ear PLOTTING FIRST DEGREE MURDER.
