Inaction, Cubed

Following up on this posting and this posting, an update at last! Sort of.

Eight weeks ago or so, we called for an update on the processing of our tax return and tax refund. They graciously admitted that they owed us money. So when could we expect the check? Oh, in about eight weeks.

Eight. Pokking. Weeks.

So this week we called again. Hey, it is us. Those folks you owe money too. How's that tax refund going?

They are still "manually checking" the return. It should be done in about eight weeks.

Oy.

Well, at least it isn't a situation like the economy is tanking, my industry is imploding, and I could be laid off any moment. Not like I really could use the money or anything!
