    I shouldn't even have to do this review as often as I do! And her tone. Her tone is what really got to me, like, no sympathy at all so I was like, fine, let's play! I can't stand this if you deserve it system we have now. @ragman

      @stephaniepixie Her Tone is what really got to me. No sympathy whatsoever! I shouldn’t even have to do this ridiculous review every few years AnyWho. Thank you! Don’t fuck with me before my morning tea! Smile!

      @WeirdWriter I’ve had to deal with Canadian provincial support workers and I’ve never felt more condescended to in my life (and I worked in cafes and retail for decades) so I can imagine the feelings you must’ve felt. I was pure fury but didn’t have a creative response like you did.

            @WeirdWriter I hope Karen gets really really scared now everytime someone in the office asks for "complete documentation".

              Had to read portions to my spouse because I started laughing out loud.

                  Well, they demanded it. It is only right they got it. One page at a time.

                  On another note, it appears the line linking to the tips page is missing a closing square bracket, so the link doesn't get rendered properly @WeirdWriter

                      @WeirdWriter bless, this is life giving. The next time I get hit with a review I'm taking a page from your book.

                        @WeirdWriter Five hundred plus pages. Diabolical. I hope they learn their lesson and keep your documents as a memento mori. On the other hand, imagining you threatening to do it again is making me laugh maniacally.

                          @mxjaygrant Yes, it is so, frustrating. I used to comply with just the right anount but not anymore! Make them *never* want to cancel your services. Teach them you are radical enough to not stop until you have things sorted out. I really do hate this system we are in so much!

                              @fargate Ah thanks! I just fixed it! By the way, I also *just now* learned how to do multiple redirects in Eleventy which is super epic! But thank you! More to come!

                                @WeirdWriter Absolutely. I've a couple of friends who've had to fight to get on disability and it's been such a nightmare. Nobody should have to go through the American benefits process.

I just became *so* tired of people telling me I never bring enough. Fine. I'll show you enough documentation! LOL! But https://sightlessscribbles.com/follow/ @sboots

                                          @WeirdWriter im doing the hoops you jump through to ultimately find out you have fibromyalgia so i am intimately familiar with your tiredness, solidarity there. my dad used to be a reporter for the local newspaper and once a senator did this to him, but it wasn't with a fax, they just answered a FOIA request by sending him a huge box of hard copy documents
